If your calling in, to help us net controllers, chairperson type people identify you above the other QSK's, try adding your unit number IE "QSK 123 calling"

Well Done all, sounds like you had fun, wish we could have something like this in the North-West?

Cheers Ray for another great Southern and south coast net and also KP 441 for relaying QSO’s when things got tough.
A few tweaks have been made to my working conditions so hopefully I won’t be sitting on that side twiddling my fingers and straining my ears as much from now on.
Sadly didn’t catch any of the meteor showers it clouded over in London.
Can’t wait for the next net.

Hello all and welcome

Here is my review of the Southern Area and South Coast SSB net held on Thursday night
09/09/2021

My location was radio corner, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex.
The set up was supposed to be the Anytone AT6666 and the Moonraker vertical half wave.
Checking the VSWR on the Moonraker, it showed above 3, which is high as it is normally below 1.3.
Checking the coax, I found that the plug on 1 end need some resoldering.
So over to the back up, a Sirio 4000 on a mag mount.
With the delay, Nigel (EK720), Steve (KP441) and others started the night off.

Here is my list of stations heard and worked by the net

AMC674--Kev--Dorking--Surrey

Hello all & welcome

Here is my quick review of the Southern & South Coast SSB net, held on
the 30th of September 2012

My location was Radio Corner, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex.
Set for the night was the Anytone AT6666 and the Sirio 4000.
The weather was wet    and windy.

Here is my (short) list of stations that called in and was heard or worked by the net.
All stations are 26 division unless otherwise stated.

AMC 519--Ray--Purbeck Hills--Dorset
AH 09--Tim--East of Andover--Hampshire
EK 720--Nigel--Devils Dyke--West Sussex
KP 441--Steve--Henfield--West Sussex
OM 001--Graham--Burgess Hill--West Sussex
FB 20--Jonno--Bignor Hill--West Sussex
FB 228--Martin H--Hellingly--East Sussex
CT 4169--Martin--Hastings--East Sussex
??????--Chris--Swindon--Wiltshire
CT 2767--Matt--Swindon--Wiltshire
GB 23--Paul--Croydon--South London
And me CI2290--Ray--Ashdown Forest--East Sussex

And then it all went wrong!
I started to receive reports of warbling on my modulation and my roger beep sounding strange.

Checking the battery, it showed that it had dropped to under 11 volts.
That's fine, just a simple job of grabbing the jump leads, starting my van and putting some charge back into the battery powering the radio.

NO JUMP LEADS!

So the net was handed over to Nigel (EK 720) and Jonno (FB 20) who continued to chair in my absence.

If your calling out to a net, help the people in the chair by giving your name or the last part of your callsign. IE "Bill on the side" or " 151 calling QSK" This way you will stand out above the QSK's, on sides and break break.

PS
I have something to ask our No 1 fan, the keyer and music player.
Do you do requests? 
We on the net would like to hear any music from the 60's to the 80's, Motown, Country & Western,
Queen, Meatloaf, Ska, Ozzy, Snow patrol and any CB related music.
But before you start playing music again. 
Can you check if your mono radio has a damaged cone or get
your CB sent away for a tune and service as it sounds terrible.
Cheers
Your uninterested and unimpressed audience 

Well done with your net Ray, especially with the Chinook noises(!)

Laughing hard at your music 'requests'. 
(Sometimes they 'upgrade'.....we have a nearby numpty that can fire into the local 2m & 70cm repeaters.....obviously has a very sore penis to have nothing else better to play with!)


All the very best to you and all the operators that enjoy the net activities,
Victor

Hi victor

This is the video I took of the Chinooks flying round.



It would have been more exciting if it had been in the day time to be honest! LOL   

All the best

Ray

Welcome 1 & all

Here is my report for the Southern Area and South Coast net held on the 04th of November 2021
My location as always, was Radio Corner, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex
my set was the Anytone AT-6666 and the Moonraker vertical 1/2 wave on a 3 meter pole.

The weather was cold and clear and got colder as the night went on. 
When I packed up it was below 3 degrees    

When I arrived, Mr 187 was there working 2 meters but not having much luck.
We did have a chat, a coffee and also checked my Moonraker on his Nano thingamebob, which produced some interesting results. 
The Nano thing showed the antenna had a SWR of 1.3 but the Anytone showed 2.4

On with my report.

PS
Our No 1 fanboy disappoint a number of people on Thursday night.
He showed up late, didn't play anything we liked, still has bad audio and then left early.

Hello, howdy, hiya, greetings, bonjour, Guten tag, G'day mate

Here is my report/review for the Southern Area and South Coast net, held on the 11th of November 2021.
My location for new readers was Radio Corner, Ashdown Forest, East Sussex JObb01
The set up was a Anytone AT6666 and a Moonraker 1/2 wave vertical antenna.

The weather was mild for the time of year, some cloud but did see the half moon    and the temperature stayed around 10 degree's C from start to finish.

The conditions seem very erratic with stations going from no signal to 3 or 4 bars on the meter and quiet to loud audio.

Now for the list of stations that called in and were heard and or worked by the net.

PS
Fan  boy came, played with his PTT (penis teasing tool), keyed me out and played music.

Did it stop the net? 

HELL NO!
