WILL PROMOTE 6 THE METER SSB NET. JIM SAYS HAM'S WILL WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NET SINCE IT WILL BE DEDICATED TO 6 METERS DISCUSSIONS. THE ON AIR INFORMATION EXCHANGED WILL HELP EVERYONE TO MAKE THE BEST EQUIPMENT SELECTION AS THEY ADD TO THEIR STATION. 

WATCH IT GROW!

 THIS NET WAS FIRST STARTED IN 2000, IT DIED AFTER 5 WEEKS.   JIM, N0UQZ GAVE THE NET A FRESH START. WE HAD 4 CHECK INS.  NO 2 RADIOS OR ANTENNAS THE SAME. JIM SAYS IT WILL GROW. WE HAVE HAD 103 DIFFERENT LOCAL HAMS CHECK INTO THE NET. WE JUST NEED TO GET THE WORD OUT. WITH 87 ICOM 706 AND 21 ICOM 746 RADIOS AND 2 KENWOOD TS570 THAT ARE NOW IN THE AREA THE LAST 2 YEARS THE NET WILL DEFINITELY GROW. JIM, N0UQZ'S STATION IS A ICOM 736 AND 1 RINGO OMNI AT 32 FT.
MOST POPULAR RADIO USED ICOM 706 

MOST POPULAR ANTENNA WAS A HOMEMADE OR MODIFIED CB OR A TUNED WIRE.		 AS THE NET CONTINUES TO GROWS AND THE WEBSITE AT THE SAME TIME I WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO UPDATE THIS PAGE WEEKLY. ON 9/26/2001 I SWITCHED MY SHACK 6 METER RADIO TO A ICOM 706M11G.  AFTER 4 WEEKS I SWITCHED BACK TO THE ICOM 736 BASE.  EVERYONE LIKE THE 736 MUCH BETTER AND SO DID I.

4/8/2001, N0UQZ, RECOMMENDED A ICOM 706MIIG TO A HAM FRIEND JERRY, KC0KGZ IN LINCOLN. JERRY JUST LOVES IT AND SINCE HE IS A TECHNICIAN ONLY HE LOVES BAND OPENINGS AND THE TUESDAY NIGHT NET. CHECK JERRY'S WEBSITE OUT HERE.

 

 

MFJ 9406 6 MM SSB RADIO USED BY WA0ZQG. EVERYONE COMPLEMENTED RICH ON HIS FANTASTIC SIGNAL AND TONE QUALITY.  ICOM WAS THE MOST POPULAR RADIO USED.

 N0UQZ RECOMMENDED THE KENWOOD TS 570SG TO BUD.  JIM N0UQZ SAID IT TALKS & SOUND GOOD. N0UQZ PROMISED TO HAVE AREA HAM WITH A 570 CHECK IN NEXT THE FOLLOWING WEEK, SO BUD COULD HEAR HOW 570'S SOUND.

REVIVAL OF THE 6 METER SSB NET WAS DISCUSSED AT THE SWIARC CLUB WITH A ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION FROM THE MEMBERS. A MEMBER AT CLUB MEETING HAS READ THE YAESU FT 817 PREVIEW  ON THE N0UQZ SITE AND DECIDED HE HAD TO HAVE 1. IT'S IN ROUTE. GRID SQUARE EN 11 IS WEST OF 42ND ST. OMAHA, NE.
