80 m: 2000 - 2130 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: QRV for round 1 only, QRT 2024 UTC. My reports during round 1, signals would have been stronger later.

Have been using my main rig: Ten Tec Orion I with 50 Watts out. Low distance MUF stayed at around 5 MHz during the whole session.

Sunday, March 3, 2024.

80 m: 2000 - 2118 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Nice session with strong flutter and slight echo on all signals.
- De PG4I: All signals with Aurora flutter and some QSB. Got an aurora picture from Hanz YL3JD about one hour before the net started just when I noticed some weird sounding signals on 80 meters... (see picture below). Have been using a HARTKIT 2000 rig (5 Watts out), designed by PA0CHN in the 90s of the last century. The key was a hacksaw blade cootie.
- De PA3BYW: All signals were affected by Aurora, causing flutter. Aurora was visible here in Friesland (see picture below).
- De M0HTE: Quite a bit of flutter and QSB even via the WEB SDR based in Netherlands. All stations 599 via SDR and peaks via rig as follows.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Nice session in spite of a noisy band here.
- De M0HTE: Had some rig problems, the RF gain not working so my radio reports not very accurate. Problem now fixed. Two DX this week, one to India and one to Argentina both on 12m. Max reports as follows but all stations 599 via WEB SDR.

Sunday, March 31, 2024.

80 m: 1900 - 2016 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PG4I: Overall good propagation with some QRN from distant thunderstorms. John's third transmission was partly wiped out by strong QRM. I tried using websdr to determine the signals, it looked like AM from some station close by (very strong). But there was not enough time to listen in.
- De F5LAW: Very nice and interesting session, great to have PA3BYW back at the helm. Net time is now 1900 UTC, no change in LT. Huge QRM on John's over (STN and WX info). AM or FM, could hear voices but couldn't id language. Heard by Durk, Michael and Jo as well, so not local. Maybe not hams...
- De M0HTE: Some QRM but peak as follows: All stations 599 via WEB SDR. Had to QRT early because of thunder.
