On the air get-togethers.

Slacker sun still disappoints

Remember that you do have an alternative to HF for worldwide communications: EchoLink!

As if we needed to be told, there is news out today that the sun is, well, not really newsworthy - at least as far as solar activity is concerned. In fact, the very lack of solar activity has now become the news story. Amateur radio operators worldwide have been waiting and waiting and waiting some more for the sun to perk up and enter the new cycle. Sunspots, which are connect to good HF band conditions, have been reluctant to make their appearance, surprising solar weather forecasters!

Avery's QTH: Addicted to nets


Welcome once again to my Humble QTH: 

Avery in the ham shackA few years ago I was asked to do a local two meter net on Sunday Evenings at 7:00 PM. So, after saying “yes” for three years, finally I tried to find someone else to take the net.  

As it turned out, every Sunday night there I was at 7:00 PM no matter what, doing a net that sometimes lasted quite late into the evening.

Handiham Net Schedule Updated: Extended CW Net times, new EchoLink Node

Handiham Net Schedule, Effective May 12, 2008

Join our worldwide EchoLink net every day but Sunday. All licensed operators are welcome. The net is controlled but informal, and there is no need to be a Handiham member to participate. Sometimes the net control station will throw out a discussion topic to liven things up! Listen in a few times if you are shy, and then take the plunge and throw out your callsign.

Days: Monday through Saturday, and Sunday if anyone wants to take an informal session.

Daily On The Air (DOTA)

I've noticed that there isn't much activity on my local repeater. Perhaps I'm just not listening at the right times, but I've sampled the repeater throughout the day on different days of the week, and aside from some scheduled net activity, users seem to be maintaining "radio silence"!
