SSB Net

[Razz229]

Hello and good day to you all

Here is the report for the net held on Thursday 12th of February 2026.

The net takes place on 27.395 MHz LSB, or channel 39 on the CEPT/FCC band, and starts about 20:30 Hrs 🕣 and goes on until 23:00 Hrs 🕙 or later local UK and UTC time.

Set up for the night was the Solarcon A-99 antenna on a 3 metre pole put out about 40 watts form the old version 3 Anytone AT-6666 powered by a car battery 🔋.

Location for the net was Radio Corner, Ashdown 🌳 Forest in the county of East Sussex. The weather was cold with a chilly wind that scattered the clouds allowing the stars to shine.

Here is my list of check in's and who heard and or worked who.
