Thank you to everyone who participated in the 6 meter test nets on Sunday at
8:30 PM. We only had a few hams participating, but we found that coverage was
better than on 10 meters. I was able to work a couple of hams on 6 who were
difficult or impossible on 10.
Next Sunday, November 26, we will again be running an informal 6 meter test net
again, this time on 50.220 MHz USB. The net will begin at approximately 8:30
PM, after the CVARC net on 146.625/145.47/146.82 ends.
Even if you don't have a 6 meter antenna, try tuning up your existing antenna.
Or think about putting up a 6 meter dipole; it's only 10 feet long. We will
run 6 meter nets for the next couple of Sunday nights.
Work everyone that you can, and send an email back to me letting me know who
you were able to reach and communicate with.
As with the 10 meter net, the purpose of this temporary net will be to see how
well we can use 6 meter SSB simplex to communicate across north central
Vermont. Please join us, and forward this to other hams in Vermont.
73,
Cathy
