Wednesday, June 25th, at 6:15PM – 146.580MHz
This Month the Simplex net will be hosted by Dave, K6EV. As usual we will be on 146.580MHz starting at 6:15pm. A great way to explore the reach of your 2 meter equipment without benefit of repeater, both receiving and transmitting. Bring a pad of paper and record signal reports for all you hear. Dave will collect and collate these. Use this scale for your reports:
1=Nothing at all heard, not even noise or hiss suggesting a specific signal is present.
2=It was apparent that a signal was present but communication is impossible even with reasonable re-tries.
3=Communication possible with noise and possibly some re-tries to cover drop outs.
4=Good communication though with some noise or other artifacts, but generally solid copy.
5=Solid copy, little or no noise, full or nearly full quieting.
Be patient during silences as there will probably be participants you cannot hear and net control is likely communicating with those stations during silences.
