US 40 m (80/30 m) 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.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Welcome to the net, Bill. Jay still on his boat, in dock. Conditions on both bands seemed extremely poor tonight. Thanks everyone for coming up, and I look forward to working you all again on the net. Conditions have to improve!
- De KT5LA: ATAS antenna mounted to the sternrail of my 35' sailboat, at the dock in CA.
- De W1SFR: Very faint sigs tonight on the net Darrel. 119 with hvy QRN. Not enough there to copy. I'll try again next week.
- De KA5TJS: Unavailable.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0120 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW on both bands. Very poor conditions - the worst I can remember on 40m. QSY early to 80m.
- De W1SFR: 40 was terrible here as well. Most signals in the mud but several years of QRP ops certainly does help when the S meter shows nothing and you can still get some useful copy. HiHi.

80 m: Friday, 0120 - 0155 UTC, 3568 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 80m very much better than 40m, although still not great. Thanks everyone for coming up and persevering in such bad conditions.
- De KA5TJS: 80 was still very QSB but Darrel and Don were solid. Winter and 80 will win every time I think HI HI.
- De W1SFR: 80 much better for me here in VT although we were in the middle of a snow storm. 8" and now 10 deg F here.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0125 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Steve was low but fair copy thru the session. I got W5UX in NM and Steve called and got the other two (TNX for the QSP's). KD4ZFS came up to a 579 while Steve was working him but I never did hear Bill WA4FAT.

Notes:

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: On 40m W1SFR 579 QSB - sometimes stronger on my active vertical. This was a great net. From Arizona, great conditions on both bands. An addendum, to confirm the good conditions tonight. I checked RBN immediately after the net. During the net I had received 38 reports on 40m, and 20 RBN reports on 80m. Conditions were good.
- De K7FD: Sri I could not make net last two weeks; hopefully next Thursday!

- De AA7FV: A great net. The best ever! 40m was clearly the best band tonight. An excellent net night.
- De KA5TJS: Wow, report is peaks and QSB was all over but great signals for sure. 40 meters was the winner tonight for sure! Great net Darrel.
- De WA4FAT: How nice to actually be able to hear so many participants in the SSN! Perhaps someday I'll have an antenna for 80 and be able to join in there. In the meantime, 40 it is!

Notes:

Jay calling in from his sail boat.
- De KT5LA: Operated portable: long wire with an auto tuner. Wire held aloft by halyard. Working on a portable antenna for the summer. Concept needs work. Nice touch on the 30 seconds of silence in remembrance of K3CKT (SK) and PA3DEB (SK).
- De K7FD: Good turnout!
- De WA4FAT: A wonderful SSN, thanks as always to Darrel for his expert leadership as NCS! It was a balmy evening in Alabama and 40 was uncharacteristically quiet. I'm guessing our rambunctious squirrels were no longer cavorting on my stealth dipole.

- De KA5TJS: Well we had a tornado Wed. night so no power here on Thursday. No damage at the QTH but power down all over. I started to try and check in QRP on a battery but was tied up making ham burgers on the pit on the back porch! Had to eat HI HI.

By the time Bob checked in the QRM had increased to S8 and was getting annoying!
- De AA7FV: SWL reports from aa7fv, in Washington DC, using NA5B websdr, also in Washington DC. Well done guys. Conditions didn't sound too good here in DC - lots of QRM as well as the usual QSB and QRN.

- De KA5TJS: 40 meters was very QSB again. Darrel was doing great but Steve was rough copy with the QRN.
- De VK5BUG: FYI - I monitored 7044kHz from 232350-240010Z & ran my CQ call tape during that time as well. Did not hear anyone from Stateside but perhaps someone heard me? Hoping I was not a nuisance with my 400W & HB ground-mounted 33.5ft vertical over 60 radials. Dave K1ZZ copied me @ 2115Z a couple of days ago, so I know that I can make the 17000kms to Connecticut!!
- De AA7FV: Doc - VK5BUG, sorry I didn't hear you. Because of another QSO already on frequency, we held the net on 7044.4 KHz tonight. The band was very noisy tonight - worst QRN I've heard for a long time. We QSYd to 10121.5 around 0025 UTC. I hope we'll make it one day soon.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0025 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I heard Cliff working Steve just as we QSY to 30m. Sorry, Cliff that I didn't catch your call earlier. From email after the net, Jay had been trying to call in, but there was a problem with a stuck key or something, and I only heard an unkeyed carrier every time. RST 089. I hope it's not too hard to find the problem.
- De WA4FAT: So happy to make the Net for a change after a summer filled with activities that mitigate against it. Perhaps one day I'll configure something that will put me on 30 or 80 Meters, but for now it's 40 only.
- De KT5LA: On my FT991, I heard CW, but the power meter reacted differently. When you indicated you heard just carrier, I thought my power out meter sort of looks like that, not CW, though I'm hearing CW sidetone... Seems I got some checking to do here.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: From Arizona, this was a perfect net, with great conditions to Brian and Jay. I enjoyed the chats very much.
- De KT5LA: KF6C was not heard here until at the very end of the 40 meter net when he was suddenly 549, good copy! And as I told Darrel, the issue last week was with a bad key cable plug. Little things are easy fixes (just think of all problems as little and it makes life easier).
- De KF6C: KT5LA NIL, towards the end I thought I was beginning to hear Jay.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: W8WEU also tried to call in, but none of us could copy him. Nevertheless, just after QNF on 40m and QSY to 30m, K9TJL was able to work W8WEU on 40m. For Arizona, signals were about equally readable on 40m and 30m, in spite of very high QRN on 40m.
Right after the SSN, at 0056 UTC, I turned on my 1-watt WSPR TX. I immediately received WSPR reports from OE9GHV, SM0EPX and DK6UG, So, I guess 40m was supporting long skip to Arizona at this time.
- De KF6C: Report from Chenango Lake NY. Top of hill/mountain 2000 ft. ASL. Antenna at 260 deg.
- De YC1JCD: Several times I tried, but still can not hear from DEPOK Indonesia. I hope I get a chance at another time.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0025 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De KA5TJS: QSB was very bad but managed to copy almost all here. Brian, you had a great signal here in ETX last night. N4NN was also hitting 599. To the east signals were good. Steve you were actually stronger on 40 last night than 30! Very strange. Such is propagation I guess.
- De W1SFR: Brian had a very good signal here in VT, but QSB and QRN and all the other nasty Q's were busy tonight.
- De KF6C: It was hard to copy any one. A strong electrical storm over head: QRN, noise from rain falling, and some QRM. This station was set up to be unattended in this area with regular electrical storms. A 300 ft tower about 300 ft away also probably give me a false sense of security. I chickened out at using head phones which meant the radio ws competing with the rain. I thought it only rained this hard in CA.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions weren't too bad from Arizona, in spite of fairly high QRN. The only difficult copy was Bob, W5UX. Overall conditions weren't great tonight, but it was a great net. (It was up to 105 F at AA7FV today. The A/C in the shack was struggling to get the temperature down to 89F, but it was well worth putting up with the heat for the great net tonight!)
- De WA4FAT: Enjoyed the SSN tonight! When the Net finished on 40 to QSY to 30, a late check-in, Alan, K5AB, 579. Nice to meet him. Been missing my friend Allen, KA5TJS. Glad to see his QNI on 30.

Notes:

- De KA5TJS: QSB was bad on both bands tonight. The afterburner sure helped with your signal Darrel!
- De KT5LA: Well it was a noisy 40 meters for me tonight, but AA7FV brought his KW. Darrel was the only station heard here over S8 noise. I operated from my boat on an auto tuned long wire.

Notes:

- De KA5TJS: 40 meters was not as good as it had been tonight. Darrel was down and so was Steve. Bill was booming in from AL. 80 meters still very QRN here but we can give it a try!

- De W1SFR: Yes with all the doom and gloom about our severe lack of sun spots, mother nature hands us a very good evening on 40m. Whoda thunk that would happen? Good to actually hear folks on the radio and to be able to dig out clean copy when sigs were below my rigs ability to register on the S meter. FT8? Nah. CW all the way.

Notes:

This frequency will probably become more active next few weeks, as it is close to a regional traffic net. They shift to this frequency to pass traffic..( stns do not check QRG for busy state.) Typical operations Today world. We have experience high temps in the 70/80, however outlook calls for temp drop of 30/40 degrees today FRIDAY 11th. AA7FV with high power sig was 449. Understandably, as QRN was an S-9.

80 m: Friday, 0030 - 0055 UTC, 3568 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW. Great to hear Arnie - NA5ET on the net again. Arnie heard W1SFR calling, but no QSO.
- De W1SFR: 80 was a bust for me... All 22 (who needs the 9 anymore?) or below so no copy.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0020 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Rhombic antenna fully back in the air again.
Some QRM on frequency from a PY station calling CQ, and also from someone tuning their transmitter zero-beat with the net. Also deep QSB. In spite of all that, I was getting fairly good copy in Arizona.
- De KA5TJS: Darrel got his antenna fixed for sure. Started out 579 and then started hitting 599 consistently. Just could not pull Steve out of the S3 QRN last night.
- De WA4FAT: Unavailable.

Notes:

- De KA5TJS: QRN was S5 but Darrel came thru just fine. He was QRO so the after burner helped.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: W1SFR was 569 on the rhombic antenna. On my active vertical, Steve had only been 459, with QSB into the noise.
- De WA4FAT: Poor conditions in Alabama last night. I could hear Darrel, AA7FV, just barely, and no others well enough to copy.

Although all stations on both bands were putting reasonable signals into Arizona, unfortunately most stations were not able to copy each other. Thanks everyone for a great net, in spite of mediocre conditions.
- De K9TJL: AA7FV 589. WITH AMP 599 Plus 10 dB. Shifting band cndx tonight. (Poor cpi most stations).

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Very poor conditions here tonight. W5UX was good copy at first then the band changed. I did manage to pull KT5LA out of the noise but very poor copy. Steve was way down in the noise.
- De KT5LA: Thanks for your listening efforts Allen. I was surprised you heard me. I was operating at my home station using a buddypole portable antenna. After the net I had a CW QSO with a station in Maine, but we were both battling noise for that also.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 0105 UTC, 7044 kHz. Net was already doing quite nicely here, in the absence of NCS on any nearby frequency. Thanks, everyone, and apologies from NCS for his late arrival on the right frequency.
- De N4OW: Very good net tonight, much better than last week. Many good sigs with easy copy.
- De WA4FAT: So pleased to be able to QNI after a month-long absence. KA5TJS - Heard just prior to Net, 579. N4NN - Allen told me he was reading the mail but the speeds were just a tad fast for him to join in.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0125 UTC, 7044 kHz.
Notes:
- De KA5TJS: We got run off of 40 meters. Someone started sending on the freq. and I called for an up 1 and some stations heard me. We later tried to go back to 44 and the QRM started again and I called for the QSY to 80 meters. That worked fairly well.
- De N4OW: 40 meter net - Signals were strong and the net was going well until we experienced loud, prolonged QRM from a rude station tuning up on 7.044 with out any effort to listen or send QRL?
- De NI4E: Great to hear everyone this eve... Great sigs on both bands, even with the QRM on 40m…. Operating from High Point NC this eve...
- De K9TJL: Total confusion on 7044 due to inexperience. I stayed around 7044 and tried to communicate with op. however he could not send code, still could not copy his call. Product of no CW requirement for todays licenses. Keyer stuck several minutes etc.. QRM net 20 minutes. Should of net shifted and not come back to original QRG, he started in on hand key still could not understand. He was using a reader thus not able to copy swiper.
- De NA5ET: Unable to participate in 40 meter net due to tasking from higher authority to execute holiday lighting patrol duties.
- De AA7FV: Unavailable.

Notes:

- De NI4E: Was great to hear Frank, KA8SYV. We’re old friends, but he didn’t tell me that he planned to check into the net. Was a great surprise! I'll encourage him to keep checking in to SSN...
- De N4OW: Excellent copy on all stations some QSB at times. Welcome to Frank KA8SYV with his new N1DJW key sounding very good. Enjoyable session with no QRM.
- De NA5ET: A bit of QRN here and there, but overall very nice conditions here and it was nice to hear everyone.
