20 m: 1500 - 1555 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I arrived a little late for the net, and found it split on two simultaneous sessions, 200 Hz apart, that couldn't hear each other. Also, a lot of non-net QRM on and near both frequencies. This was a very confusing session. Very selective propagation on all bands.

20 m: 1500 - 1600 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions on 15m and 17m not so good as 20m had been, so just for 15 & 17m turned on amp; 1 kW. Seen from Arizona, conditions overall this morning were fairly good, but superb on 20m. With the VK net earlier this morning, this has been an excellent SSN Sunday!

Notes:

- De F5LAW: Confusion and QRM on 14055 kHz; very rough copy on NCS, US stations strong, poor paths or NIL between the 3 SSN stations heard, I didn't call.

- De 5T0ITU: 1512Z Some sigs coming up, in fact it sounds like two SSN nets being on same QRG. I could detect F5LAW in QSO with PA3BYW both swinging 0/1or2/9 weak, QRN and QSB, I was unable to decode the second SSN running on same QRG! But I have no doubt about the two nets.

- De K9TJL: The bands white noise was very low here in the Midwest, thus QSO was QRK 5, with low S meter readings. That why S units to me is a element I give to the other parties involved in a QSO. Personally I do not give much meaning but report the mechanical reading, as accurate as I may.

This is exactly what Jean used to complain most about. Obviously none of the stations calling the DX had checked whether the frequency was already in use before swamping us with their calls. The worst case of poor operating QRM I've experienced in a long time.
- De CN8YR: 18088 kHz: I heard Darrel copying TJ and Jim, but 3C0L pile up made lot of QRM. As usual, I'm sure Jean would have sent him a message of protest.

- De G4CPA: I could hear Jim 339 ,I tried a few times to QNI but other stns started calling me so had quick QSO's with IZ3 then SP called me I thought that they were SSN stns so SRI fer any QRM this was on 14055 kHz could then hear TJ just a whisper in QSB.

20 m: 1500 - 1523 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Allen was a great signal, but apart from the usual pipeline from Arizona to K9TJL, most signals were down a lot this week. I started with 95 watts, then QRO to kW. Conditions were poor on both bands (20/17m). Signals were there, but mostly too weak to be comfortable.
- De KA5TJS: Darrel was booming in (589-599 after amp) and I could hear Yann 20%. TJ was not there and Steve was 50%. I had a copy on Jim. Not a great day.
- De F5LAW: Extremely poor conditions, all stations much weaker than usual. AA7FV peaking 579 with amp but readability not optimal due to strong echo and QSB.
- De G4CPA: I could only hear Darrel AA7FV, on 14055 kHz he came up 549 in QSB, he was wkg USA stns at, I tried a few times to QNI to no avail.

A good, truly intercontinental SSN to end the year, although I wish signals on 15m had been stronger. Thanks to all for a great year of SSN, and I look forward to more great Sideswiper nets in 2018. Thanks to all the NCS for running the nets (...) All the best for 2018.
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1605 UTC 21055 kHz: Nil sigs heard. 17m: Thanks Darrel for taking NCS and all QSPs. Thanks to all sideswipers for keeping this net alive whatever the conditions (...) Happy New Year to all.
- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1605 UTC, 21055 kHz: Heard very weak signals at 119/NIL, probably CN8YR calling. Nice sessions on both bands in spite of QSB. Thanks fellows, 2017 SSN has been great and we'll do even better in 2018! HNY to you and yours gents, take care and BCNU.
