The K5TAL net on 80 meters was opened at 6:30 pm (23:30) and had 14 check-ins. Band conditions on 3.829 were good, but the “Frequency Hogs” were out in force, claiming that they “had” the 3.834 frequency and would not relinquish it for a net. A “clear” frequency was found at 3.829 and that was used for the net. In the future, I and a couple of other net members will begin looking elsewhere for a more reliable frequency. EchoLink was in operation but had no check=ins. D-Star via Ref058B was also open for check-ins. The 2 meter net on the 145.11 repeater had 7 check-ins, and 1 check-in from an SWL listener via N4DKD.com.
