Report Tables.

Sunday, January 7, 2018.

20 m: 0859 - 0916 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: VK7CW, Steve San checked out at 0916 UTC. 0916 - 0922 UTC 14349 kHz; 0925 - 0936 UTC 10149 kHz; 0937 - 0945 UTC 14349 kHz: No reply for CQ. I was hoping LP EU/AF. But it might be too late or poor band conditions.
- De VK7CW: Nil other stations were heard despite Yo San and I calling CQ. I checked out of the net early at 0916 UTC due to participating in SKCC K3Y event.

Sunday, January 14, 2018.

20 m: 0857 - 0931 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De VK7CW: Good conditions on 20m between JA and VK. There was some initial radar intermittently on frequency but we could both work through it. It did not last long (...) Band was very quiet apart from initial radar QRM with good conditions. Nil other stations were heard despite Yo San and I calling CQ.

30 m: 0931 - 0945 UTC, 10149 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: The radar QRM was heard on 30m at the beginning but it was gone soon. No other station than VK7CW, Steve San checked in but we enjoyed chat putting out CQ several times.
- De VK7CW: Once again nil other stations heard despite Yo San and I calling CQ. It would be nice if we could encourage more stations to participate in the Region 3 SSN.
- De F5LAW: Heard sideswiper signals, RST 219, a letter now and then but no call signs copied. Heavy bursts of digital transmissions at times. My G5RV is poor on 30m.

Sunday, January 21, 2018.

20 m: 0902 - 0928 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: We run the new frequencies, 14055.0 and 10121.5 kHz. They were clear, no QRM (...) I heard the station sending ? ? to ask about our callsigns after Steve San checked out at 0955 UTC. Immediately I put out CQ but until 1005 UTC but no reply was heard. Someone was listening our QSO. I hope that he is interested in our net.
- De VK7CW: Our new freq of 14.055 was very successful and clear. Even though there was a contest in progress we experienced no QRM or QRN. However despite Yo San and I calling CQ several times nil other stations were heard.

30 m: 0929 - 0955 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De VK7CW: The band was a bit noisy but Yo San was 599 so no problem. Once again our new freq of 10121.5 proved to be clear of QRM. Despite Yo San and I calling CQ once again nil other stations were heard.
- De F5LAW: RX only, clearly copied both call signs, parts of messages, both signals of same strength.
- De ON4ADI: Could only listen from 09.55 to 10.00 UTC and could hear some station calling CQ SSN and I think it was YO SAN de JL1MUT.

- De VK7CW: I checked into the 30m net a few minutes late (...) Nil other check ins when I checked out at 0953 UTC.
- De F5LAW: Poor conditions, permanent carrier QRM until 0945Z, SSB splatters, carrier back at 0950Z, I gave up at 0953Z.

Sunday, February 4, 2018.

20 m: 0857 - 0941 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Steve San, VK7CW informed Pat San of SSN last Friday. We had 3 stations on the net. So the net became a real net. Pat San tried to use 20m yagi heading to JA in the middle of the net. It was no problem to communicate with VK7CW, Steve San.
- De VK7CW: A big welcome to VK2IOW Pat, for joining us tonight on the net with his homebrew steel ruler cootie. Great to have you on the SSN Pat and the cootie sounded great! 599 on your Yagi and Inverted vee, great signals on both.
- De ON4ADI and F5LAW: Nothing heard on either band.

Sunday, February 11, 2018.

20 m: 0900 - 0943 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Everyone could copy all the participant with solid signals. I have never seen such a wonderful band conditions on SSN Region 3. I had a great time. VK4BGR checked out just before QSY to 30m for the dinner.
- De VK7CW: Nice to have George check in on 20m and very nice to meet him for the 1st time.
- De F5LAW: Can't rotate the beam so receiving from the sides of the antenna, about same signal strengths on G5RV but better S/N ratio on beam.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Few checked in but we had a great net. F5LAW, Yann San checked in 30m session.
- De VK7CW: Nil other stations heard this week on 20m despite Yo San and I calling CQ.
- De F5LAW: Been listening for a few minutes, very weak signals + local noise.

30 m: 0930 - 1004 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Yann San replied to VK7CW, Steve San's CQ SSN. I didn't hear Yann San but Steve San relayed the messages for Yann San and me. Just before Yann San checked in, Steve San had a reply from G3 station but didn't copy the callsign.
- De VK7CW: We also had a surprise check in, F5LAW Yann. It was very nice to have him check into the Region 3 SSN on 30m. Also when I called CQ I did hear a very weak signal from a G3 but sadly I could not get his call and I did not hear him again. Unfortunately Yann and Yo San could not hear each other so I had to relay.
- De F5LAW: Thanks Steve for QSPs to/from NCS. I couldn't hear the G3 station calling the net, skip too long, also very faint signals from ON4ADI - Paul.

Sunday, February 25, 2018.

20 m: 0857 - 0954 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: VK7CW, Steve San was using his new key, KDM-2. His keying was so beautiful as usual. It worked well. VK2IOW, Pat San couldn't use his 20m beam because of the windy WX. But his signals were solid with his inverted Vee antenna and 50w output power. 0935 UTC: VK2IOW QSPed call de G4FAD. I increased the output power to 200w for G4FAD. Rich San replied to my CQ. I managed to copy his callsign but hardly copied the details for the weak signals. My 20m beam was heading to LP EU during the net at all the time. Rich San checked in SSN Region 3 three times last February and March. The propagation to England may be good at this time. Hopefully we hear him again next week.
- De VK7CW: Pat was initially 559 on 20m but his signal degraded significantly during the net; heavy QSB and was down to 219 by the end of the 20m net. Rich was 319 with me on the short path, however when I called him there was no reply. So I presume that unfortunately he was not hearing my call.
- De G4FAD: I first heard VK2IOW at 339, but Pat you soon dropped below readability. Then Yo JL1MUT also 339 solid copy all the way. Steve VK7CW nothing heard this time sorry.
- De ON4ADI: Nothing heard on either band.
- De F5LAW: NIL on 20m.

Sunday, March 4, 2018.

20 m: 0859 - 0954 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: G4FAD, Rich San checked in 20m net again at 0922 UTC. His signals were better than last week and RST 449 on peak but it was going down soon. My 20m beam was heading to LP EU during 20m net. The opening time to England may be very short.
- De VK7CW: Conditions between VK fair and when Pat tested beaming different directions his signal dropped to 319 with a bad echo and once again got progressively worse to 219 towards the end of the net even when beaming towards VK7. I could only just tell that Rich was there on the long path with weak CW heard, but nil copy.
- De G4FAD: JL1MUT, was a good signal today inasmuch as he was solid copy at 449/559, I could hear Pat VK2IOW but no copy, Steve VK7CW nothing at all again Steve sorry.

Notes:

- De VK2JDR: Yo san was very strong 479 however I could just make out Steve, nil heard from Pat.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: We heard DU1NA was checking in the net but didn't hear his reply.
- De VK7CW: DU1NA initially checked into the net but was not heard again by Yo San or my self? Nil other stations heard despite Yo San and I calling CQ.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: There were SSB QRM on 10121.5 kHz during the 30m net. I think that they were pirate radio stations. It was no problem to copy VK7CW, Steve San as his signals were strong.
- De VK7CW: The band was very noisy with SSB QRM and some QRN with a slight tone just above our freq. Noise was no problem as Yo San was easy copy with great signal. When I was calling CQ I heard a very weak station come back to me but it was too weak to copy. Nil other stations heard despite Yo San and I calling CQ.
- De F5LAW: Didn't try 20m; just RX on 30m.

- De VK7CW: Welcome to Alan VK4AAN on the 30m net. Your 20w and G5RV doing a great job, well done. Once again we had some SSB QRM but no problem to copy Yo San or Alan. Just a reminder that daylight savings in South East VK finishes next Sunday morning, which means the clock goes back one hour and net will start at 1900 hrs local time.
- De K7VNE: Steve - VK7CW, I did copy you on 10.1215 at about 10:15 UTC. I got your callsign and tried to call in but looks like I was not heard. As a new member to SSN who has only been on CW about 3 weeks now with a whopping 40 or so QSO's under my belt hi hi.

30 m: 0930 - 1031 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: We had two North Americans checking in. K7VNE, Vince San was initially very weak but going up to RST 439 and readable on peak. QNF 1008Z. W1YL/7, QNI 1008Z, Ellen San was so loud as usual. The propagation to North America may be good at around 0930 UTC on 30m and especially in VK. JS6TMW, QNI 1019Z, Steve San seemed to be testing his MLA and it was working well.
- De VK7CW: Very nice to have Vince check into the net this evening and a very nice signal to boot. Vince had some QRN his end and checked out of the net early (...) As we were closing the net we also had W1YL/7, Ellen, and JS6TMW, Steve, call in. It was very nice for Yo San and I to have a quick QSO/chat with Ellen. Yo San had quick QSO with Steve and I tried to call him when they finished but nil reply (...) Some SSB QRM, very light to start with, louder at end, not causing any great problem.

20 m: 0904 - 0935 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: VK7CW, Steve San was getting weaker little by little and fading out almost at the end of the 20m net. YC1JCD, Edy San joined the 20m net and we welcome him.
- De VK7CW: Very nice to have YC1JCD, Edy, join us tonight on 20m and a very warm welcome.

30 m: 0935 - 1017 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: K7VNE, Vince San and G4BUE, Chris San checked in on 30m but both were not heard in my QTH.
- De VK7CW: Nice to have Vince check into the net again this evening and a very nice signal again but he had bad QRN at his QTH. Also a very warm welcome to G4BUE, Chris, and thanks for checking in. Very difficult copy this end but glad you could copy me at 559. I did not hear the usual SSB QRM that we have been experiencing the last few weeks on 30m which is good news.
- De K7VNE: I was able to QSO with Steve enough to get a signal report @ 09:46 - 10.1215 but band condx became very poor in short order due to heavy QRN. I thought I may have also heard JL1MUT in there but very weak.

20 m: 0858 - 0928 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: We had a great net because VK6RR, Roy San and VK5EEE, Lou San checked in after a long time.
- De VK7CW: Good conditions initially between JA and VK on 20m this evening, however signals went down progressively during the net and Yo San was 219 with QSB at the conclusion. Unfortunately inter VK was poor and nil heard from Roy, VK6RR.

30 m: 0929 - 1026 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: There was much SSB QRM on 10121.5 kHz. We had to move up 1 kHz at 1016 UTC.
- De VK7CW: Conditions good on 30m between JA and VK but inter VK poor with nothing heard from Lou VK5EEE. I heard Vince K7VNE calling several times and he was 559 with me, unfortunately he was calling every time that Yo San was TXing. I did call Vince several times but with no replies. Unfortunately Vince and Yo San were not hearing each other and kept on doubling with each other. Good to see Lou back on the 30m SSN after a long absence. There was very light SSB QRM again this week which I think was bad with Yo San towards the end of the net as we had to QSY up 1.
- De K7VNE: The only station I could copy but was still very faint was Steve and even his sig went from bad to worse after I sent him the 229.

No net:
- NB: JL1MUT unavailable, VK7CW took NCS.
- De VK7CW:
* 0900 UTC 20m 14.055 running 100w into Hex Beam with Russian KDM-2 Sideswiper:
Called CQ from 0900 - 0930 UTC. Nil stations heard despite beaming North, then North West and then North East.
* 0930 UTC 10.1215 running 100w into GP:
Called CQ from 0930 - 0940 UTC. Nil stations heard. Experienced slight SSB QRM as usual.
I am not sure if conditions were bad this evening or there was just no one around (maybe both?). I certainly hope for better conditions next week and to have some stations checking in. Looking forward to having Yo San back as NCS next week.
- De F5LAW:
RX summary, using G5RV antenna:
* 099 - 0930 UTC, 14055 kHz;
* 0930 - 0945 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.
NIL from VK7CW, no SSN stations heard. QRM from EU stations on both QRGs.
Thanks Steve, no reward for your efforts. Sorry. Better luck next time.

20 m: 0858 - 0935 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: It was great to have Edy San, YC1JCD on 20m. But YC1JCD and VK7CW couldn't copy each other.
- De VK7CW: There was some JA contest QRM on the high end of 20m but it was no problem to the net. Even beaming towards Indonesia I could not copy Edy, YC1JCD, but could only just tell that he was there.
- De K7VNE: Nothing heard on 14.055. I made several CQ's on both 20m and 30m but heard no response.

20 m: 0858 - 0933 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: VK7CW, Steve San had to check out earlier (0906 UTC). Afterwards YC1JCD, Edy San checked in. We run the net putting out CQ to check others. No other replied. But I enjoyed to talk to Edy San.
0934 - 0948 UTC, 10121.5 kHz: I had SSB QRM and much rain noise. WX was heavy rain here. I called YC1JCD a few times at the beginning. And then I put out CQ SSN several times. But no reply was heard.
- De VK7CW: Unfortunately I could only stay on the 20m net for about 10 minutes and had to miss the 30m net due to other commitments.
- De K7VNE: Was a little late, slept in until 09:45 UTC or, 02:45 am local hi hi.. Tried to call for about 10 minutes on 10.121.5 but nothing heard so I checked out..
- De AA7FV: I also listened on both bands, 20m & 30m including the alternative QRGs, using the Twente SDR. Lots of contest QRM on 14.055, but nothing else.
- De F5LAW: 20m: Brief QSX but QRM 5 from contest, went QRT. 30m: QSX for 10 minutes, nothing heard.

- De VK7CW: Yo San started off at 559 with QSB but quickly went down to 539 with QSB by the end of the net. Yo San and I called CQ but again nil other stations heard. However, just as we closed the net W1YL/7, Ellen, called me and we had a quick QSO with 559 RST both ways. Always a great pleasure to work Ellen who has joined us on 30m previously.

20 m: 0856 - 0929 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: 14055.0 kHz had been clear until just before QSY to 30m though during the contest. VK7CW, Steve San checked out earlier (0905Z) for the contest. And then VK5EEE, Lou San checked in (0905Z) after a long long time. It is a welcome news that Lou San came back to SSN Region 3.
- De VK7CW: Very quick check in this week as I was participating in the CQ WW WPX contest. 20m Frequency was clear despite contest conditions.
- De F5LAW: QSX to the 20m session via the KFS webSDR. Very good signals from JL1MUT, I really enjoyed listening to Yo San's excellent NCS job. Too bad no path from VK stations to KFS.

20 m: 0857 - 0933 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: VK7CW, Steve San was fading out at the end of the 20m net and the signals were still weak at the beginning of the 30m net. But it was improved to 569 just before his check out. VK5EEE, Lou San was sometimes sending Wabun (Japanese Morse code, QOD6) to me in his telegrams. It was so beautiful. VK4AAN, Alan San checked in 20m in the middle of the net. Solid signals were heard and it came from 50w power and a G5RV antenna. He didn't hear VK7CW and VK5EEE. Unfortunately I didn't hear him on 30m. I hope to hear him on 30m next week.
- De VK7CW: Average conditions on 20m between JA and VK at the start of the net. However as the net progressed signals dropped dramatically with Yo San barely audible at the end of the net. 20m inter VK conditions non existent with nil heard from either Lou or Alan.
- De F5LAW: QSX to 20m session via the KFS webSDR, California, USA. Permanent carrier in background, fast QSB on NCS, no path to VK.

The propagation to VK was closed at around 1000 UTC on 20m because Lou San was fading out almostly at the end. YC1JCD, Edy San checked in at around 0930 UTC just before QSY to 30m and was very strong as usual. BX6ABC, Henry San checked in at 0939 UTC. He was the first Taiwan station for SSN. I could exchange the report with him but others couldn't.
- De F5LAW: QSX to 20m session via KFS and 9V1RM webSDRs. JL1MUT: Solid copy via either webSDR, excellent NCS job as usual. VK5EEE: NIL via either webSDR. YC1JCD: Good copy via KFS, NIL via 9V1RM. BX6ABC: Better copy via KFS.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: 20m net was extended to 1004 UTC so 30m net started very lately and was run for short time because I had to QRT. And I took down my 30/40m rotary dipole for the typhoon. I was using an inverted Vee wire dipole for 30m.

- De JL1MUT: I took down my 20m beam this morning. Another typhoon will be closed to my QTH this week. So I will not be available for 20m session today. I am sorry. It would be greatly appreciated if someone will take over NCS. I will operate 30m session as usual.
0930 - 0945 UTC, 10121.0 kHz, 100w + inverted Vee dipole: I was putting out CQ SSN several times. I got the feeling that someone was calling me and put out QRZ? a few times. I couldn't copy it. It may be VK5EEE, Lou San according to the e-mail from Yann San.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: My 20m beam is still down for the typhoon. I put up a double zepp antenna for 20m this morning. I was uneasy about the performance of that antenna but relieved to receive 579 from Edy San as usual. I will not put up my 20m beam until the typhoon season is finished. It may be the end of October. Recently the typhoon is getting stronger than old days. 0859 - 0907 UTC: No reply for my CQ SSN.
- De F5LAW: QSX via KFS and 9V1RM webSDRs. Solid copy on JL1MUT and YC1JCD via KFS, both signals weaker via 9V1RM, double Zepp doing UFB at NCS. Good signals/QSB from VK4QC via 9V1RM, NIL via KFS.

No net:
- De JL1MUT: No reply was heard for my CQ. I put out CQ as follows:
0900 - 0906 UTC 14055.0 kHz;
0929 - 0932 UTC 10121.0 kHz;
0933 - 0936 UTC 10121.3 kHz.
I heard that a Russian station was calling CQ on 10121.0 kHz so moved up 300 Hz.
- De F5LAW: On both bands QSX via ZMH292 webSDR. 20m: CQ SSN de JL1MUT, weak signal but fine copy, no takers. 30m: CQ SSN de JL1MUT, strong signal, some QRM from a pileup on QRG, no takers. I checked around QRG and on alt QRG 10149 kHz but nothing heard.

20 m: 0902 - 0931 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Tonight the band conditions were not too bad. Lou San was very clear on both bands though there was SSB QRM on 30m. It was no problem. I enjoyed the last SSN Region 3 this year with Lou San. Thanks, Lou San. Best wishes for the holidays and New year 2019, dear all friends.
- De F5LAW: QSX via ZMH292 webSDR. JL1MUT: Excellent signal, some QSB at end. VK5EEE: Weak signal, QSB, better at end, part copy.
