Sunday New England AM QRP Net
Kicks Off - Jan. 16, 2011
Time -
Sunday at 3PM EST - we're going to try this time and see how it works, we'll settle between 1-3PM once things sort out.
Freq - 3880 Kc - want to keep on freq all license classes can use (Tnx to KB1HYS,WA2DTW and K1FZ for this)
Rig - QRP, defined as 807 power or less (Tnx to Carl, KC2TAU and others for suggestions here)
Mode - AM, hence the name AM QRP
Format - Roundtable, for order and to let the truly PW have a say
Vintage - New or old, home brew or commercial just fine, "run what you brung" (Tnx to KC2TAU for feedback here)
NCS - Bruce W1UJR to start, will need others for future nets, NCS should have QRO ready if needed to "guard" the freq
Purpose - To showcase AM QRP operation, to give folks a chance to run their AM QRP gear,
to discuss the weather, what's for dinner and radio in general. Think of it as the old "Lonely Guys"
and "What's For Dinner" nets with a QRP twist.
Notes - Here is the beginning structure, and all is subject to change on future nets at the request of those participating.
The goal is to make this as accessible as we can, so your input matters.
Time and Freq are the two big variables, need to settle on the time which works for the most folks, so let us know.
Fellows, this is your net, make it what YOU want it to be.
Once we get this up and running, I'll post a note under the Announcements section and get it off to Ray at ER.
* We do need volunteers for the alternating NCS position, please post interest here or email w1ujr@arrl.net *Thanks - Bruce
