A few years ago a 40metre net was a regular feature on a Sunday . Now, however, there doesn't seem to be any countrywide CT nets on the amateur bands. Sadly conditions on the popular 40mtr band for inter G working have dramatically got worse and worse. To compensate for this I have taken to lurking around on 80mtrs of an evening, this is normally quite reasonable for G working although not without it's problems. It can be pretty noisy and suffer from qsb but at least can usually find someone to chat to. I know not everyone has the space for a dipole on 80 but there are alternatives with a much reduced top measurement that will do the job. So if anyone fancies giving 80 a go I'll be listening between 1900 & 2030 most evenings. Incidently, there is a good net on 3.777 of an evening. I have heard comments that this is an old timers net, not true. there are several 2E & M6 stations call in on a regular basis, Give it a go! |

I have also found myself drifting onto 80m in the evenings Mick. I only have a 20m long off-centre-fed Dipole, but it does tune on 80m, and I do make contacts, so you don't need a huge wire when there is a bit of inter going. I think as conditions worsen, it will be probably the best bet for a local-ish chat on ham bands. |
