Well done Chairman John

Hello

This is my report for the net held on Thursday 15th of October 2026

Here is a bit of info before the list of who checked/called in etc

The Southern Area & South Coast SSB Net is held on FCC channel 39 or 27.395 MHz using LSB and is scheduled to start at 20:30 🕣 and finish anytime from 23:00 🕚 UK time.

My location was Radio Corner, Ashdown 🌲 Forest in the county of East Sussex, which has the town of Crowborough to the East and the village of Wych Cross to the West.
The weather at the beginning of the net was cool, cloudy with a light breeze and by the end of the net, it had turned mild with a clear sky show off many many bright stars.

My set up for the net was the old Anytone AT-6666 Driftamatic, powered by a car battery 🔋 and push a massive maximum 40 whiskies out via an Solarcon A-99 antenna.
