South West Net
There is a new net(or meeting channel) in the South West which has so far proved quite popular on 27.295 USB.
This Wednesday from 6.30pm we are looking to get a few of us on the frequency and everyone is welcome to come on and say hi

Re: South West Net
I've never spoken to anyone on sideband since going on air in '81, but as I'm in the South West I'll have a listen in now and again to see if I can hear anyone. I do own a sidebander so it'd be a shame not to. I'm about 7 miles south of Bristol.

Re: South West Net
I had a listen 5 minutes ago and could hear "something" right at the back of the set with the needle jiggling about between S1 and 2 for a few minutes, but I couldn't make anything out word-wise at all. I think I was in the right place anyway, usb ch21 mid-block with the clarifier down a tad (no frequency counter wired up).

Clarifier is usually at 12 o'clock for midblock channels on older ssb radiosThe Collector wrote: ↑17 Apr 2019, 19:37 I had a listen 5 minutes ago and could hear "something" right at the back of the set with the needle jiggling about between S1 and 2 for a few minutes, but I couldn't make anything out word-wise at all.

Plenty are talking worldwide on 27.555 usb,
Some are too far up their own @rse to admit it,
Many happen to know otherwise dx-ing test free,
Showing a complete lack of respect for the law.

Re: South West Net
I heard bugger all on all the other channels!
I haven't got a frequency chart and didn't bother to look it up (I only use ukfm if I ever speak on the thing which is very very rarely as no one's on round here).
It was worth a try though, but my Antron's only about 8ft off the ground.

Re: South West Net
Monitored sw net last night. Was able to hear faint modulation it not understandable .
Their was a t c I could hear who took seat a while.
Continental skip was received stronger to me in fair which didn't help.
Will be making adjustments to hopefully try a call next week's net.
Fingers crossed for better conditions.
