Pennsylvania Fone Net

posted in: News Articles

Due to band conditions and excessive QRM, both accidental and deliberate, and to the band being long most evenings at 8PM, I’m going to try to run the Pennsylvania Fone Net on 1610 KHz,

I know many people do not have antennas for 160 Meters, but this is only a temporary move. I’ll continue to call for check ins starting at 0010Z (7:50 PM Local) and if I don’t hear anyone by 2000 Local, I’ll switch to 160 Meters and try there until 2010 L.

When propagation returns and 75 Meters is usable for communications within 300 miles, we’ll move the Pennsylvania Fone Net back to 75 Meters.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but at this point I’ll try anything to make it work.

73,
