Intercontinental Net.
Section under development.
To move to a net archive page, use the list boxes in the upper-right corner. Select year, net and click on the "Go" button.
NB: Pre-2012 net data are not processed. The Region 3 Net started on February 5, 2017 and ended in 2020.
The following graph and tables provide an overview of the variations in the level of activity for this net and give a general idea of the HF conditions met during the sessions.
-
QNI Graph.
In each month column of this bar graph, the number of participants, Net Control Station (NCS) and participating stations (QNI's), is shown:
- Per week: first week at bottom of column up to fourth/fifth week of the month;
- Per month: red on white background on top of column.
The bottom row in the table shows:
- Total number of sessions;
- Total number of participants;
- Average number of participants per session.
Click on a month name at the top of the graph to jump to the "QNI table" listing all participants per session.
-
QNI Table.
This table lists all net participants per month, week and session. NCS's are marked with "*". "Visitors" are not listed unless they took part in a session. Click on a day date in red to jump to the corresponding report table(s) if available.
-
Report Tables.
These tables compile reception reports received from net participants or listeners (SWL's). NCS's are marked with "*". Each row of a table recapitulates the reports given to the participants by the station listed in the "De" column. Call signs in italics on a different background color in "De" columns indicate reception reports. Reports expressed in decibels, +10dB for instance, must be understood as values over S9.

Report Tables.
Sunday, January 5, 2025.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: At check-in there was another station calling, but down in the noise and with rapid QSB. Sorry, I couldn't get the call. ** Yann, I just read your SSN report, and I'm sure that other station I heard must have been you. Very sorry I couldn't copy well enough.
- De KN6BAZ: 20M NET started with Darrel's signal below 559, rather unusual. I tried to call several times, but Darrel had no copy. Then, suddenly, half way through the net, signal recovered to 599+, and my call was answered. It looked almost like a different antenna been used, considering the difference. Pedro had a good signal with good copy, and I could also copy K2MER, Mark.
- De F5LAW: I gave the Intercontinental sessions a try today but very poor conditions, I didn't stay. A very Happy and Healthy Year 2025 to you and yours fellows, BCNU.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 18088.5 kHz (POTA activity on 18088.0). 1610 UTC the POTA activity finished, so we moved to 18088.0 kHz. KA9S Jeff in IL, rejoining the SSN after a long pause. Welcome back Jeff! ** Yann, again, very sorry at didn't hear you on 17m either. Very poor conditions (see below). Many thanks for trying to get through. I hope it'll be much better next time.
From: SWPC NOAA. There was an abrupt increase in solar proton flux reaching the earth today, which will have increased the background noise and given extra attenuation to signals crossing the polar regions (such as from EU to AZ). A solar X-ray flare at 16h UTC, just at the start of the 17m net, was responsible for a minor (R1) radio blackout. The sun has been very busy in the last couple of days.
So overall, not great conditions today.

Sunday, January 12, 2025.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Another station was calling (RST 119), but sorry, I couldn't copy the call.
- De KN6BAZ: Similar to the last week, I had difficulties checking into the 20m SSN NET at the beginning. Darrel's signal was at 559, rapidly increasing to 599+ 2/3 into the net. I called again, and was spotted by Chris, and eventually Darrel replied, confirming a check-in. It is really fascinating how quickly ionosphere changes on 20M in the morning.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 18087.5 kHz (Activity already on 18088.0 kHz). I had trouble with my own key connection this morning, especially at the very end of the net, but problem found and now fixed. Sorry about that!
- De KN6BAZ: I also tried to check-in to 17M net, but clearly at my QTH the signals were rather weak with QSBs.

20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14055.25 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions were unusually bad today, with more than usual QRM, QSB etc. It'll be better next time!
- De KN6BAZ: 20M NET Darrel's signal below 529 at the beginning of the net, and I couldn't check-in. Then up to 599 with successful check-in. Good copy on K9TJL, with signal peaking at 529. TJ reported no copy on my signal.

Sunday, January 26, 2025.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055.6 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.6 kHz (I moved up a little to avoid activity already on 14055.0). Conditions on 20m were not good, because of QRM. However 17m QRM was much worse today.
- De KN6BAZ: The same pattern continues during the 20M NET. Darrel's signal is weak, around 529 at the beginning of the net, but rapidly improves toward the middle, reaching 599+ and allowing for an easy check-in afterward. I was able to copy K2MER, but the signal was weak and affected by QSB.

17 m: 1600 - 1616 UTC, 18088.1 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 18088.1 kHz (Trying to find a spot away from the pileup, but they were spreading too much.) The QRM on 17m was the worst I've heard during a SSN. A DX pileup of stations spreading up and down several kHz around the frequency. I think they were probably calling SV1GA/A who was 10 kHz lower in frequency, and who was coming into AZ quite well. I gave up and closed the net early, at 16:16 UTC.

Sunday, February 23, 2025.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: One other station called, but at RST 129 too close to my noise level and very sorry, I couldn't copy any of the call.
- De KN6BAZ: Great signal propagation during today’s 20M NET. Darrel’s signal was strong from the very beginning, peaking at 599 and making for an easy check-in. I was able to copy Allen, KA5TJS, but his signal was affected by QSB. Unfortunately, we lost him after the first round. Hopefully, everything is okay, perhaps just some technical issues... Chris, WX7V, had a strong signal and remained easy to copy throughout the net.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I had heard another station calling, at about RST 119, but apologies I couldn't get any of the call. Overall conditions on 20m sounded rather poor. At the end of the net I was called by AE2W in TN (559) but not SSN.
- De KN6BAZ: QTH: BORREGO SPRINGS, CA, USA. I was trying to check-in from Borrego Springs, CA using QRP rig. The dipole antenna had been setup behind a hotel. Before the SSN, I had a few QSOs, one from FL, and all looked good. But Darrel’s signal had strong QSBs, and he was reporting 119 on my calls, no copy. After multiple tries, I was able to checkin with report 329 at the end of the NET. I could also copy other stations. Great and challenging net.

For much of the time, the X-rays were "M-class", which qualifies for "Class R1 Minor Radio Blackout". After 16h30 UTC things were slightly better, with the X-ray flux dropping to mid C-class." Especially on 20m, thanks to the sun the conditions were relatively poor today. Conditions on 17m were much better.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions on 20m were appalling this morning. 17m was very much better, but the flutter on signals coming over the pole was unusually strong. The geomagnetic field has been active over the last few days, active or only just below storm levels. There is a chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts over 04-06 May.

Immediately after QNF I was called by G0TLE in Leeds, and we had a great chat in continuing excellent conditions.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: There had been a C-class solar X-ray flare today right at 1500 UTC, and another just after 1600 UTC. They should not have been strong enough to give even a minor radio blackout, but perhaps they contributed to relatively poor signals today. The geomagnetic field was active, but below storm levels.
- De KN6BAZ: Great 20M NET today. Darrel had strong and stable 599 signal through the NET. Solid copy on Pedro and Chris. Sorry, no copy on Yann. And a good copy on Yos. K3ESE, Lloyd, signal was weak, mixing with noise.

Conditions on 17m were unusually poor today. Geomagnetic field was active, but below storm levels. The sun has been active in the last few days, but wasn't particularly active at the time of our net. I don't know why conditions were particularly poor today.

Notes:

Also a ?JL? station calling was quite strong, but I never did get the full call. After QNF I did briefly QSO F4JLJ (559) which might have been that station calling earlier. Sorry I didn't get it first time. Conditions on 17m were quite good this morning - after the net I had a long chat with a UK friend (G4AFU) with excellent signals both ways.
- De N2TNN: Just a report from Virginia near Williamsburg. AA7FV was a solid 599. I was running a POTA station and only had a paddle running 5 watts. I didn’t want to cause confusion so I just moved on. Great net today with good conditions.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: The sun was not being kind to us today. Solar X-ray flares, CME charged particle flux and high geomagnetic storm level were all conspiring against us. There was a solar flare just reaching M-class, which corresponds to an R1 radio blackout, immediately before 1500 UTC, just as our 20m SSN should have been starting. Then just after 16h, when our 17m SSN should have been starting, there was another solar flare although much weaker in strength. The Geomagnetic Activity reached Kp=8, a G4 storm level, and is still around that level. This is an unusually high geomagnetic storm level that I've rarely seen. So ... with well timed solar X-ray flares, storm level of charged particle flux from an incoming CME and unusually strong geomagnetic storm levels, we didn't stand much chance today. I'm a little surprised we managed any SSN check-ins at all today.

My first attempt to join the NET failed, but it worked on Darrel's second round, though report was not ideal 🙂. Solid copy on Darrel despite some QSBs on my side as well. No copy for other stations, signals were too weak.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Before the 17m net, I had QSOs with DL8 and SV1. Not SSN, but it indicated conditions to EU were probably good. Just after the net was closed another station called me but sorry, I didn't get the call. I thought conditions on 20m were a bit down, but conditions from AZ to EU were excellent this morning.
- De WX7V: Was not able to join 20m net (packing for a work trip to NJ) but I was glad I joined 17M Net (albeit late)! Had to drop early to finish packing for a work trip to NJ.

Notes:

- De KN6BAZ: QTH: CAMPING @ UNION VALLEY RESERVOIR, 40 MILES WEST OF LAKE TAHOE, CA. Easy check-in using a QRP/9w rig and a dipole antenna from a camp near Lake Tahoe at about 5,000 ft elevation. Solid copy on Darrel with fast QSBs from 579 to 599. A good copy on Mike AD9CA, welcome Mike! Pedro's signal had no QSBs at all, been rock solid 559. I thought he was still in CA.

20 m: 1500 - 1532 UTC, 14055.5 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.5 kHz (Trying to squeeze in between existing activity.) AE4GM(?) 359 (poor copy, I think it was AE4GM, Brock in FL). Awful conditions on 20m today, with QSB both fast and slow, and very deep on most stations.
- De KN6BAZ: QTH: CAMPING @ LETTS LAKE IN MENDOCINO NATIONAL FOREST, 100 MILES NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, CA. We had decent conditions on the 20m NET this morning. I checked in easily at the start of the NET using a QRP rig (9W) and a dipole antenna from my campsite at Letts Lake in the Mendocino National Forest, sitting at around 4,500 ft elevation. Darrel came in with a solid copy, his signal fluctuated between 579 and 599+10. I got 359/QSB report from Darrel, and Chris, WX7V, helped QSP my message. Chris had a strong and consistent signal at 599, which improved from 579 from our earlier POTA contact. Yann, F5LAW, was very weak on his first round, almost no copy. Interestingly, by his second round, the signal improved to 329, but unfortunately, a station was working right on the same frequency, which made copy difficult on my end. 🙂.
- De FR4PU: Indeed the conditions were quite bad. On 14 MHz a lot of noise (S5-S6) and on 18 MHz I didn't hear any usable signal.

20 m: 1500 - 1525 UTC, 14055.5 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: ARRL Field Day is today. QRM on 20m was probably the worst I've experienced on the SSN yet. I tried our alternative frequency of 14349 kHz, but found an SSB QSO already in progress there. Then there was OTH radar coming up on that frequency too, on top of the SSB. Back to 14055 kHz, I discovered a gap of a couple of hundred Hz centered on 14055.5 kHz and after my QRL? was unanswered, I put out a CQ SSN. I immediately received a reply from a contest station complaining that he had been running on that frequency, and he was upset that I'd taken his frequency. I apologized and he very kindly agreed to QSY for our net. So I put out a CQ SSN on 14055.5 kHz again. Thanks everyone who tried to get into the net, and I'm sorry for missing Geoff and anyone else. ARRL Field Day is not good for our 20m net.

20 m: 1500 - 1518 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I don't know why conditions were so poor. No solar flares or radio blackout in progress. The geomagnetic field had just reached G1 storm level, Kp=5, at 6h UTC, but then quietened down to Kp=3 by net time.
- De KN6BAZ: I traveled to Southern Oregon over the July 4th weekend, with a stop in the Mount Shasta area for some hiking and POTA activations. On Sunday morning, I was in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, but conditions were not great, actually, they were even worse on Saturday evening. At the start of the 20M NET, your signal was 579 with no QSB, but it later dropped to 539 with heavy fading. I tried checking in several times without success. Unfortunately, I had no copy on Yann (F5LAW) or W4YA either.
- De FR4PU: NIL on 14 and 18 MHz. Tried to send a short message but was unheard.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: From Solar and Geomagnetic Activity, I would have expected much better conditions at our net times today. No G1 (Minor) or greater geomagnetic storms are expected for the remainder of 06 Jul, through 08 Jul. No S1 (Minor) or greater solar radiation storms are expected. No R1 (Minor) or greater radio blackouts are expected. No significant active region flare activity is forecast.
- De WX7V: I was not QRV for the 20M net but enjoyed chatting with Darrel for 17M net. Condx: Kp: 3.33 (Unsettled) A: 19 SFI: 117 Sunspot: 82. There was quite a bit of fading and QSB, on both the OCF dipole and the hex beam. I turned on diversity reception (Flexradio 6600) and could hear the signal shift between the antennas. No copy on Mike AD9CA which is odd because I normally hear IL very well.
- De F5LAW: Extremely weak signal and QRN 5, I didn't call, QRT 1601 UTC.

Sunday, July 13, 2025.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Sorry, system failure here. The antenna here is fed with open wire feeder. I didn't realize that recent winds had flipped over one section of the feeder, so that the two wires of the feeder are touching at one point. I hadn't thought that possible. The RF into the feeder apparently caused arcing, which then welded the two conductors together, shorting out the feeder. The tx shut itself down from the high SWR, but I believe something inside the antenna tuner may also be damaged. Not something I can fix quickly. Sorry about this. I won't be able to take the 17m SSN either. Please, whoever is on 18088 kHz first this morning, assume NCS.
- De WX7V: Darrel I lost you completely at 15:14 UTC, your signal was very strong till then. Maybe you lost power in the shack. OI heard a couple of QRL? for next 10 min and replied Y. Kept listening but no other traffic so signed off at 15:27 UTC. Had a quick QSO with Pedro XE1YZY and said 73.
- De KN6BAZ: Chris, I got you 599 in Mammoth Lakes CA, got your “R” and was ready, but then silence...

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De WX7V: I was uncertain what to do in the absence of the appointed netcontrol to formally start the net by calling CQ SSN and sending the normal preamble (This is the SSN, Any Key welcome etc). I didn't see your note and I didn't know the protocol for assuming NCS duties. I heard Luke toss his call out, then I did the same. We both waited a bit then completed a standard QSO, with me sending something like " waiting for SSN NCS AA7FV" after signal reports name and QTH. Luke, glad you and I were able to exchange info while we waited for Net Control to kick off the net. Big signal from AR!
- De AA7FV: The antenna is now fixed (far too late for the SS net) and fortunately there doesn't seem to be any other damage to the tuner or whatever. I need to make sure it can't happen again.

Notes:

I'm less able to cope with that these days, so apologies to anyone I missed! I also suffered QRM from a station repeatedly calling at 40 wpm, whom I did not include in the list.
- De KN6BAZ: QTH: CAMPING @ LETTS LAKE IN MENDOCINO NAT FOREST, ELEVATION 4500FT, 100 MILES NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, CA. Good conditions and busy 20m NET this morning. Darrel's signal was truly standing out on my pan-adapter, 599+10 strong. I oriented a dipole east-west, and report from Darrel was good, allowing an easy check-in with 9 watts. Also, good copy on most of the stations. As usually, a very low noise floor at this location, allowing me to hear ignition system from nearby combustion engines🙂.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions for the SSN, especially at 1500 UTC on 20m, were particularly poor this morning. It turns out there was a minor radio blackout in progress just at the time of the net. The solar X-Ray flux peaked just immediately after 15:00 UTC, just as the net started, giving an R1 class radio blackout. The unfortunate timing could hardly have been closer.
- De FR4PU: I tried yesterday to make the sked with an antenna T2FD wide band HF 2-30 Mhz DIAMOND WD-330J wire antenna but I did not receive any signal on either 14MHz or 18MHz. It will be better next time. Have a good week everyone, see you next Sunday.

- De WX7V: Good condx this morning tho I could only check in on the 20M Net, I listened to the final round of the SSN on 17M. Kp: 2 (Quiet) A: 7 SFI: 317 Sunspot: 183! Operated from the back porch of our lake house near Corsicana Texas. Rig today was the KX3 with the home brew end fed random wire kit from k6ark configured as a sloper. Key was the N0SA M7 Poly paddle wired as a cootie.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: This 17m net was remarkable for several reasons. I think it's the greatest number of continents we've had at one time in the Intercontinental SSN, although no USA stations called in. Dit in Thailand was the strongest signal coming into Arizona. I think this is the first time Thailand has been in the net. All signals were a little weak, and most stations were getting weaker as the net progressed. This made it difficult at times to keep track, and there was inevitably some doubling. This was a very memorable net.
- De CN8YR: I was on portable conditions: 25 watts into a 2x6m dipole.
- De WX7V: 16:24 UTC 18088 - lots of strong signals - since I tuned in on the final round I decided to just listen in, especially since I was still on the KX3. SWL reports.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I heard another station calling, with an "8" and a "Z" in the call, but that's the best I could do. K8ZZW?? 139. Last week, the 17m net had 6 check-ins, none of them from the USA. This week, I heard ONLY stations from the USA.
- De FR4PU: I was listening tonight but it didn't work. I tried several CQ SSN without any results. There was also a lot of noise, especially on 18 MHz.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Although all signals were coming into AZ well, it turns out that none of the other stations in the 20m net could copy each other.
- De KN6BAZ: Aloha SSN, Good to hear you all in Big Island, Hawaii. I was thinking about it for quite a while, and this morning I was able to checkin with 9 watts and a dipole over Pacific. Still feel lots of excitement from the event 😉 I am staying on the west side, facing Asia, and after driving to Volcano NP, took a night at of the grid property near Hilo, on the east side of the Big Island. Lifted a dipole from a house to the coconut tree, and was able to hear Europe in the evening. This looked promising, and I took a shoot at 5am. After calling a few times, Darrel responded with 559. A success! I could also hear weak signals from two other stations, but sorry, no copy.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions were not great this morning, but we've had worse. Unfortunately nobody outside of NA was heard. The geomagnetic field was relatively quiet, with no strong solar flares during the net. According to RBN reports during the net, DX conditions may not have been too bad. Looks as if especially on 17m Europe should have been coming into Arizona fairly well.
- De AI5BE: I heard 0 stations on 18088 today.
- De W1BLU: If I heard AA7FV at all in the QRN, he was 239 here in SC. Sri… no one else heard. I tried to log in 3 or 4 times but cndx were too poor.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: On both 20m and 17m I was receiving multiple RBN reports from EU during the net, although I don't now know if that was SP or LP. Apart from Wolf, I did not hear any SSN calls from EU this morning on either band.
- De KN6BAZ: I tried to check in again from Big Island, Hawaii. For some reason, the location had high noise levels.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De KN6BAZ: Good conditions eastward direction today, with very strong signal from Darrel staying between 599+10dB and +20dB throughout the NET. I could copy Yos' callsign and reports, and QSP'ed the info to Darrel during check-in. No copy on Don, KC6D. Usually strong signals from SoCal, but not this morning. The signal was just above the noise level.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I had a nice 17m QSO with W2YRL during the 15 minutes before the net, with a nice clear channel. Unfortunately, when the net started at 1600 UTC, so did the QRM. The were at least 2 other weak stations trying to check in, but with the multiple QRM I was unable to copy either of the calls. Apologies. On the recording from TJ, I could easily copy DL7USW trying to check in, but I hadn't copied any of his call direct OTA.
