Hi Gang,
The KnightLite's Roundtable saw a great turnout this past Sunday
night, Feb 16th. The move to 3686 KHz has resulted in a definite
improvement regarding QRM, while still allowing Novices and Tech +'s to
check into the Roundtable (which did take place this past session).
The Knights would like to welcome newcomer Terry - KD4KVY - from
Grayson, GA. It was quite an honor to have Terry check into the net, as
it was the third CW contact of his ham career.
Here are some comments from the soapbox: "I worked KH6ON on 40M"
(K4NK), "Got a TICK keyer and new audio filter in tonight" (K2SJB),
"Had fun with contest. Worked 32 countries with 5 watts (K4WZ),
"Running about 2 watts tonight with a new Z Match tuner" (AE4IC), "Had
first 2M CW QSO this weekend (N3GO), "Running 1 watt tonight with my
little Pixie rig from L.I. (KF2PH), "If anyboby wants some snow, we have
lots" (VE3SP), "See you next week in FYBO Contest" (WA8LCZ), "GE to all
Knights...Been long time since I checked in" (VE3VAW), "Using my 89'er,
running about 500 mW. One 9 volt battery goes a long way!" (WJ4P).
Special thanks go to Chuck, K1CL, who helped with NCS duties.
This past session the band rang slightly long, making it difficult for
the NCS to copy stations within 125 miles of Raleigh, NC. Additional
Net Control stations enable us to work through these local skip zones.
That's why the NCS will occasionally ask distant stations to call for
check-ins.
We welcome check-ins from any station, QRO or QRP. We meet each
Sunday night beginning 0230Z (9:30PM EST) and run for an hour or so.
The new net frequency is "The Pixie Frequency" - 3686.4 KHz. The Net
Control Station will be using the KnightLite's Club Call WQ4RP. We hope
to hear you this coming Sunday night...
