H ere are my first thoughts and comments on the first Furry QSO party / Net:
Nice nets. I think I heard KC2WQW on 14.288 before he faded out. Or maybe the solar flare disrupted the ionosphere. Thanks for posting the log of the digital net that happened on 20 meters.
40 meters was better today. I heard some ham radio operators checking in. I'm glad that KC2WQW moved the net to 7193 KHz because I heard a lot of noise on 7188 KHz. Ronald's signal was fairly loud. But around 1:25 PM EST, he started fading away.
I tried to check in. Hey KC2WQW, the RRE station was me. I am using a Kenwood TS-440 and a 4 foot CB radio mobile antenna. I think I was only putting out 10 watts. Sorry we couldn't really have a conversation. I need to erect an outdoor antenna in the spring or summer.
Thanks to everyone who participated in both nets. I hope we have a few more QSO parties and nets soon.
Um, that is all I can think of.
Bye
