Where is the JOHNSON net's

[W3RSW]

Ain't gonna happen.

It would be like a FlexNet, where everyone would sit around and compare wood.


I thought Flex owners preferred plastic accessories.

I think he meant 'woodies.'

You guys are killing me.
Oh, I'm so slow...  yeah, plastics,... got it.

My only problem with these user nets is that the AM window is already crowded.  Yet another "net" would serve to increase this congestion.  If you're not an "owner" or don't want to wait around for a LONG time to make a transmission on a directed net, then it's time to watch another repeat of NCIS or another TV show

Well Al, I disagree, there is no one on 3.885 from about 10:00 AM every week day until about 6:30 PM. Even on Saturdays & Sundays you would be hard pressed to find anyone on from about 11 AM to 6 PM. 40 meters has better participation from about 8 AM till about 4:30 PM so a net there might be more successful IMHO. The bands are becoming a waste land. No one to talk to?? I call CQ when at the camp on 75 meters, nobody home! Must be my breath! On 40 meters someone seems to be there all the time. 

You're right Terry. Except for the breath part

I just don't understand. 
Why doesn't this thread continue to grow?

Everything stops growing as it gets older.  I can attest to that...


However the other night several operators on 3885 had a pseudo Johnson Net.  Me and my Viking II, a 9 lander with a Viking II CDC, a fellow in WVA with a Valiant and another fellow with a rice box, but was putting the finishing touches on his Valiant II, making it ready to use on "real" AM.

Yea: Guys keep TALKING IT UP maybe someone will start that JOHNSON NET. I have a lot of line noise on 75, 40 is best but I can make it to 75 if I have to.

Then just set up the net outside the window.  Even if you have only a General, any frequency between 3800 and 4000 is fair game.
