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.

Sunday, January 4, 2026.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De F5LAW: A very Happy and Healthy Year 2026 to all: NCSs, QNIs and SWLs. Great sessions, too bad Mr Echo checked in again.
- De KN6BAZ: Initially, 549 weak signals from Darrel in a pre-NET call, gradually improving to 599+10dB. Quick check-in. I was able to copy Bill, VE3MRX, with QSBs. No copy on Yann or Blue, even on a local WebSDR.

Notes:

20 m: 1500 - 1534 UTC, 14054.5 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14054.5 kHz (14055.0 already in use). 1455 UTC: W5WWW 579 Ron in TX, just called to say hello, not to join the SSN. Both bands were poor today, but especially 20m. Thanks, TJ for the QSPs.
From NOAA, Space Weather Prediction Center: "G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are likely on 11 Jan due to ongoing influence from a CME that left the Sun on 08 Jan.There exists a slight chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts over 11-13 Jan."
The geomagnetic field was up to Kp=5- just before our net. My guess is that the promised CME had arrived just in time for our SSN. The geomagnetic storming got worse once our Intercontinental SSN had started. Kp=5 and Kp=5+ G1 storm levels on Jan 11, perfectly covering our SSN times.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Disappointing conditions today, on both bands, although I was hearing my own weak echo (presumably RTW) on both bands. From Space Weather: Things are happening today (2026-01-19) Apart from the X-class solar flare yesterday, the solar proton flux is up to an S4 storm level. I've not seen it this high before. Not unrelated, the geomagnetic Kp index is up to Kp=8+, G4 storm level. I can't remember it being this high before either. The day isn't over yet. NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast G3-G4 (Strong-Severe) geomagnetic storms are likely on early on 20 Jan due to the anticipated arrival of a halo CME that left the Sun on 18 Jan.NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast Radio blackouts reaching the R3 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Jan 18 2026 1809 UTC.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Thanks everyone. Of the 5 stations that I heard call this morning, only one was a true SSN station - thanks, Mike! One of the worst days for poor conditions that I can remember on the Intercontinental SSN.
- De F5LAW: 20m execrable again, 17m even worse! Darrel, I didn't try on 17m, heard you pre-net with Rich - WA1SKQ who had a good signal here, but no copy at all on you, extremely weak signal. Guess I'd better skip the Intercon net for a while, better one day...

Notes:
- De AA7FV: In this morning's 17m session, the station AX2BPL checked in - except that he was RST 339 with me and I was only 95% certain that I'd logged the correct call. This call doesn't exist in QRZ.com, so it seemed I'd probably got the call wrong. I remembered that, some time ago, VK stations were able to use an AX call, so as a gamble I sent an email to VK2BPL. I just received a response from him that today is Australia Day, and stations are allowed to use the Special Prefix AX. So it was indeed AX2BPL who checked into the SSN this morning, Paul just north of Sydney, Australia. It's been a while since we had VK check into the SSN. Happy Australia Day!

Notes:
- De AA7FV: VERY POOR CONDITIONS today, on both bands. Thanks everyone for calling in, and I hope conditions will be much better next time. Although the geomagnetic field was relatively quiet, it turns out there was an R1 level radio blackout in progress for much of the net, especially during the 17m session. From: NOAA Radio Blackout Activity and Forecast: Radio blackouts reaching the R2 levels were observed over the past 24 hours. The largest was at Feb 01 2026 1212 UTC.

Notes:

Sunday, February 15, 2026.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14054.9 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14054.9 kHz (Just giving a little more distance from QSOs above 14055).
- De KN6BAZ: I could copy Darrel before the NET 549, and suspected some difficulties, but then the signal jumped to 599 and I had an easy check-in. Overall, there had been some activity on the band, but signals were weak, and I had no copy on other SSN stations. Even on local WebSDR, it was difficult to copy. Darrel's signal was gradually increasing, peaking at 599+10, making copy very comfortable.
- De FR4PU: Sporadic reception of AA7FV on 14MHz at 3:00 PM UTC. RST 229. My calls went unanswered. Nothing on 18MHz.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: The 17m net was very busy, although many stations were not hearing each other, which made for some occasional doubling. Checking the RBN after the net there were many EU reports, so transatlantic propagation was not too bad this morning. I was hearing a weak round-the-world echo on my own signal.
- De KN6BAZ: Darrels' signal was weak 539 with QSB at the beginning, gradually increasing to 589. I called in the middle of the NET and was able to check-in. Pretty good to work both NETs. Usually, conditions on 17m are not that favorable on the West Coast in early morning. This was a good NET with many DX stations checked-in, but I had no solid copy on any, and very weak signals on local WebSDR.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18087.5 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1500 UTC 14054.6 kHz at first, then 14055.0 kHz, trying to avoid contest QRM. Band was busy with CW contest activity, and the alternate frequency 140349 kHz was already occupied by strong SSB signals. No SSN replies to my 20m calls, although I was called by JF3IPR (RST 569) to swap reports.
1600 UTC 18087.5 kHz (18088.0 already occupied by a POTA station.) Occasional non-SSN QRM on the 17m net, but solid copy on Chris and Ron. I was getting RBN reports from EU and from ZL during the net, but perhaps a combination of contest activity and the Winter Olympic Games contributed to the very select SSN turnout this morning.
- De FR4PU: The conditions were good and I was sure I would make contact with Darrel, whose signal on 14 MHz had an RST of 439 and on 18 MHz an RST of 239. However, both my transmissions went unanswered. It must be something on my end, but there's something preventing a proper transmission.

- De KN6BAZ: Clear and loud signal from Darrel this morning. Easy check-in at the beginning of the net. Some QSBs, but overall easy copying. Bill's signal, VE3MRX, was weak and suffered from deep QSBs. Not registering at all on local WebSDR. It improved slightly after a while, but still I was missing a lot.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Not great conditions, although we've had worse.
- De KN6BAZ: 20M NET, low noise, but signals were also not too strong. Only Darrel was booming. I think it is just too early in the morning for 20m, to expect a good propagation across the nation on a regular day.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Partway through the 17m net a DX pileup created itself exactly on our frequency. I cut the net a little short because of the QRM. Immediately after closing the net I was called by DK6MV in Munich (RST 569), but not a SSN station. In spite of the QRM we were able to complete a QSO.
- De KE9BHN: The Bouvet pileup came in at about 11:16, that was pretty bad by the end.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: There was another weak station calling in too, but sorry, too close to my noise floor and I couldn't get any letters of the call.
- De FR4PU: there was a lot of noise on 14 MHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: As with 20m, there was at least one other weak station trying to call in, but my apologies, I couldn't get any call. Conditions were fairly poor today, but thanks to Durk it was a true Intercontinental Net on 17m.
- De PA3BYW: Very pleased to join the 18.088 kHz intercon SSN. I tried 20m as well, could hear Darrel AA7FV but very faint. On 17m much better.
- De FR4PU: I had a continuous carrier on 18 MHz.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: This morning we had the worst conditions I can remember, on both 20m and 17m, for any SSN.
1500 UTC 14055 kHz: I was called by K1WF or K1WFK (?) , but not using a sideswiper. I gave RST 439, but I'm not certain of the call. I believe another station may have been calling, but in the noise and I could not copy any characters at all. No other stations heard. I gave up and closed the net at 1520 UTC.
1600 UTC 18088 kHz: TG9ADM, Dante, in Guatemala City, using a homebrew sideswiper. Dante relayed between Chris and myself. No other stations heard.
Although the sun was relatively quiet, the geomagnetic field was not. From SWPC:
We had class G2, perhaps up to G3 geomagnetic storm. From NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 7 (NOAA Scale G3). G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming is likely on 22 Mar due to waning CME influences and the anticipated onset of CH HSS effects. Isolated periods of G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming are likely on 23 Mar as CH HSS effects continue. Unsettled to active levels are expected to prevail on 24 Mar.
- De WX7V: Not hearing much at all on 20M. Kp: 6 (Minor storm) A: 44 SFI: 107 Sunspot: 48 - SR: 12:02Z SS: 01:01Z.
- De FR4PU: Conditions are not good for contacting the United States from Réunion Island.
\At 1504 UTC, QRN and noise level S2. I tried calling AA7FV at 1508 and 1509 UTC. No response. I then initiated a CQ to see if a spotter listening on “Reverse Beacon” had picked up my signal. Nothing there either. QRT FR4PU at 1515 UTC on 14 MHz.
On 18 MHz, at 1602, QRN and noise level S3 to S5, I tried calling AA7FV, without success. At 1610 UTC, I initiated a CQ on this frequency; my signal was received by the Bulgarian spotter LZ4AE at 7,909 km with a 13 dB signal strength. QRT FR4PU at 1615 UTC.
- De F5LAW: Unavailable.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions were a bit mediocre this morning, but we've certainly had worse.
- De KT5LA: QSB came down on me like a hammer! On first check-in Sunday morning on 14.055, AA7FV was "booming in" at around 57. I checked into the net...then nothing. At one point I believe I heard Darrell call me, but by that time, I could just tell a signal "might" be there...but nothing I could copy no QRM...just signals rapidly fading away.
- De GW0FJT: I could hear Darrel on 14055 peaking about 439 with deep QSB but no one else. Nil on 18088. It'd be great to work some of our US friends one day.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions on 20m were very poor - NO SSN REPLIES TO MY CALLS THAT I COULD COPY. I heard two weak stations answering my call, but on top of each other. Each would have been RST 229 separately, but because of their mutual interference I could not copy either at all, so I would give both RST 129. My apologies that I couldn't get either call.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Immediately before the SSN I had been called by a friend, G4DJX (RST 589), but not SSN. I could hear no other SSN stations calling, but that gave Fred - DL4NAX and myself a chance to chat. Many thanks for coming up today Fred. After closing with Fred, I was called by DL6FAN (RST 569 from Frankfurt), but not a SSN station. It was great to chat to Fred today. My apologies to anyone that I missed. Better luck next time.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions were fairly poor this morning, with fewer than usual check-ins that I could hear. There had been a strong G2 geomagnetic storm earlier today, as well as yesterday. From: NOAA Geomagnetic Activity Observation and Forecast:
The greatest observed 3 hr Kp over the past 24 hours was 6 (NOAA Scale G2).
The greatest expected 3 hr Kp for Apr 19-Apr 21 2026 is 5.67 (NOAA Scale G2).
Hopefully conditions will be better next week.
- De FR4PU: Yes it really wasn't good, but we tried anyway. See you next Sunday.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1500 UTC, 14054.5 kHz. (14055 was already occupied.) Uli DL2KHU later sent an email report of my signals (RST 229; many thanks, Uli) but unfortunately I heard no replies at all to my CQ SSN calls. Conditions seemed poor today, although there were at least some RBN reports from different continents.
- De DL2KHU: Darrel, heard your sigs 229 on 14054.5 kHz. Too weak. Did not try QNI. After QNF YA7BWV was calling you. I listened on Utah websdr. JA7BWV was calling directly after QNF.

Some light QSBs at the end of the NET reported from both sides. Two more stations joined the NET, but I couldn't make a good copy; signals were very weak.
