| Good idea |
| I
will only be mobile on 80M. Will never have room for 80M antenna at
present location... Very noisy band due to city power lines, etc... |
| Tuesday
or Wednesday nights best for me (most of the time). We need to
encourage home stations to share NCS duties to lighten the load on the
regulars and to provide a great training opportunity! |
Limited activity,
but have picked up new CW Counties!
|
| Great to see
activity on 80. I hope it will expand to a nightly activity. |
GREAT
idea!! Being it is late starting in the midwest, Friday nite better cuz
of work in AM. Tnx for ur help in getting this up and running.
|
| I
know that earlier is tough for the west coast stations, but 0200Z for a
start is later than I would prefer. Pretty soon I begin to lose some of
the closer by midwest stations sometimes when it gets much later, and
they are the ones hardest for me to get. |
well
good idea to qsy down I go along with that I belong to fists so like to
keep the peace I think its going quite well back in the old days we run
every night and alot on the weekends do't forget 80m is open alot by
3PM est so mobiles and county hunters should be aware of that good way
to make some contacts
|
| Need to choose
more than one night. Tuesday's are getting crowded. |
| We
need a cw and ssb freq. Also consider advancing the working of fixed
stations. We also need to query or send emails to the truckers like
N6HH, K6TEX and others. THese guys run a lot of road at nite
Also come with some kind of award to those who put a specific number of
counties. |
I chose Tuesday
night, as this is what we have been using, but I can go with just about
any night.
|
| Have
enjoyed my limited participation so far - it's fun working on improving
the mobile antenna. Will have more time after retiring again in late
March. |
| Any
weeknight is fine ( M thru Thu): weekends could be bad with contests.
Announcements like we've been getting could alert everyone interested
in 80m that there would be activity on a particular night. However,
having one particular night to shoot for ( eg; Tues.) is a great idea.
The old 75m net used to fill that short-skip void, but doing this on
SSB is not feasible IMHO. A CW net however would be a very valuable
resource for CH. |
I appreciate
everyone's efforts!
|
| see note sent
earlier this evening. |
When wx improves I
hope to run many WY counties.
|
| Tuesday is as good
as any other night, if I'm traveling or not. Worst would be a weekend
(contests) or Wednesday. |
| No preference on
when to have activity nights. |
| 3556.5
should be activated every night, not just Tuesdays. It could become a
very popular "after hours" freq for the very challenging sport of
County Hunting. |
| My
thanks to mobiles that has run counties. I have pick up some new
counties that I have been unable to hear on other bands. (IN, MI &
OH) |
| ACTUALLY I'M OK
WITH ALL NIGHTS BUT THURSDAY. WE ARE TV SURVIVOR FREAKS. |
| I watch TV with
the wife just about every night at 9 p.m. (0200z) but she's
occasionally out on Tuesdays. |
no home antenna
yet. Only out once so far. High noise at home on 80m
|
| Slowly in the
process of installing my mobile rig! |
| Tuesday Night is
rough for me... best TV night of the week... hi |
| Putting
up a 80 meter antenna in the winter is a problem here in Eastern
Canada. But I hope to soon. May also be mobile to FL and back in April.
Was active on 75 SSB back in the mid 80's with a number of all night
sessions. It was relaxed and friendly with no formal rules like 20 SSB
had at that time. |
| Fun! |
| This is a good
reason to change the MARAC CW contest 80-meter frequency to
3550 KHz. |
| 80
m is a great band for cw chn. I have enjoyed working mobiles at night.
I am trying to get my mobile station set up on 80 m. Hope to be qrv
soon. |
| Any night is fine
with me. |
| It's
great to see the activity on 80m. I've worked 5 new counties in two
evenings which is a lot considering I have about 500 to go. Let's keep
it going! |
| My 80 cw habits
vary re:days and times, as far as running is concerned, will post on
web when i go out to run. |
| Great, let's keep
it going. |
| Several
years ago we had ch net at 3865 for ssb only each evening. Great for
getting those close counties.Risto you are to be commended for your
leadership in this endeavor. |
| Thanks to W4GNS
for the "New One" on 80 Meters. |
| No
real preference on the night. However I have been active only a couple
of times due to working too much. Several months ago I decided to take
another contract so I will be working for at least 6 more months.
Retirement is on the horizon. |
| It's
great to have fun group activities. I have no 80 meter antenna but I am
building one now. I have been active with 5 watts and a 40 meter
antenna. I have been very surprised with the 559 reports. I have also
ordered and 80 meter ham stick for mobile use. To whomever is
responsible for the new 80 meter activities, thanks. |
I'm all for 80m. I
do not have as much noise on 80 as other bands using my shunted tower.
This could entice me to get an 80m resinator.
Thank you for the 80m idea.
