I like this idead, though, it is a shame that the digital net on 20 meters was put so far down into the CW portion, in fact positioning it right on top of the internationally allocated QRP calling frequency of 14060. Being UPPER side band, it would work just as well say 14073 to about 14075. You would not hear the usual PSK on 14070 due to it’s being on the opposite sideband, yet you would be better neighbors to the hams int he CW portion. Just a thought.
Either way – wish you great success and I’ll see if I can join in.
Net operations from the Western AR to the east coast and points in between worked rather well tonight on the 20 meter band. Then the regional nets on 40 meters had a good bit of contact with each other and relayed into the Western AR net control station. In short: It’s working!
I am the ARES EC out here in Owyhee Co, SW Idaho. I would like to do an HF net or a 2m net as I see you don’t have any nets down thi way. I already do the local ARES 2m net the first Monday of each month on the 146.940 and I also do the combined RACES/ARES net on the 2nd Thursday of each month on the 3929 LSB.
I am so thrilled to hear about this group.
Maranatha!
Lots of activity on the 12/5/13 voice net! At the end of the net, NCS asked if anyone was using PSK-31 on 2 meter FM. A better choice, and one we regularly use on our ARES/AUXCOM nets is MT63-1K. It is much faster and more robust, at the cost of using more of the allotted channel bandwidth. We use it to provide training material for the net’s lessons, and use it exclusively for traffic during disasters. MT63 provides Forward Error Correction, which means it results in typically 100% copy. PSK-31 is great for informal HF use, but for channelized VHF/UHF FM, or where your info must get through, not so much.
