This week, 3 stations were on the SSN-3: JL1MUT, VK5EEE, VK6RR. Conditions this week were poor for us on 30m but good, although with lots of QSB, on 20m:

The result for Region 3 is shown as follows.

---

0906 - 0930utc
14349khz

VK5EEE
100w + doublet up
10m
VK6RR 549
JL1MUT 529 - 579

VK6RR
VK5EEE 559
JL1MUT 559 - 449

JL1MUT
100w + 3el yagi up 20m
VK5EEE 559
VK6RR 549

---

0931 - 0945utc
10121.5khz
Then QSY to 10121.7khz for QRM on VK5EEE's side.

VK5EEE
100w + doublet up 10m
JL1MUT 249

JL1MUT
200w + inverted Vee up 15m
QRO to 200w for poor condx.
VK5EEE 229 - 449

---

0945 - 1007utc
14349khz again

VK5EEE
100w + doublet up 10m
JL1MUT 589

JL1MUT
200w + 3el yagi up 20m
VK5EEE 549 - 569

We were sad that 5T0JL/ON8RA, Great OT Jean J. Lewuillon is SK at the beginning the net.
The Region 3 SSN was going to expecting to hear his keying again this autumn on long path propagation.
We will never hear his keying.

30m, band condx was poor.
Lou San was not solid and had bad QRM.
We had to QSY back to 14349khz again.
Lou San was better to RST569 just before the end of the net.

VK5EEE

20m was good condx but
30m not.

We missed VK4BGR, George San on 30m.
I had SSB QRMs on our frequency. It made me to be hard to copy VK5EEE, Lou San.

We had to QSY back to 14349khz at 0950utc.

Lou San went down to RST329 at 1001 utc, the end of the net. The condx was not hold longer even 20m.

Thanks, dear George San and Lou San.

30m was poor condx.
I hardly copied VK7CW, Steve San. I made QRO to 200w output.
20m was very poor before but good today.
The band condx may be changed. It is the end of August almostly today.

Thanks, dear Steve San, dear Lou San and dear Roy San.

The result of Side Swiper Region 3 Net on Sep. 3th 2017

JL1MUT Yoichi 03 Sep 2017 11:25

The result is shown as follows.

No check-in station was heard until 0935utc.
I called CQ SSN on 20 and 30m alternately.

0900 - 0911utc 14349khz
0912 - 0917utc 10121.5khz
0918 - 0921utc 14349khz
0922utc - 10121.5khz

10121.5khz
7J1ATG/2
op VK4BGR
checked in at 0935utc.
JL1MUT 539

VK5EEE
checked in at 0949utc
JL1MUT 469

JL1MUT
7J1ATG/2 439
VK5EEE 439 SSB QRM

The QTH of 7J1ATG/2 was Izu which is not far from my QTH, Southern part of Tokyo area.
I guess that the distance is below 100km.

It may be too close to communicate on 30m.
I lost him soon.

I asked VK5EEE to call 7J1ATG/2 but we didn't find his call back.

The band condx to VK5EEE was poor and SSB QRM was heard sometimes.
It was very hard to keep VK5EEE at the end of the net.
We closed the net at 1008utc.

Thanks for 7J1ATG/VK4BGR, George San and VK5EEE, Lou San.

The result of SSN Region3 on Sep. 17th 2017 is shown as follows.

0900 - 0910utc
14349khz
I put out CQ SSN several times and heard no reply. And then QSY to 30m.

0911 - 0921utc
10121.5khz
I put out CQ SSN several times.
JM1KFD, non-SSN station replied to my CQ SSN.
We exchanged regular informations, RST signal report, name, QTH, rig and antenna.
And then I continued to put out CQ SSN and received e-mail from VK7CW, Steve San at 0924utc.
VK7CW reported me about the band condx at his QTH, which was poor.
I did QSY 20m again.

0928 - 1014utc
14349khz
VK7CW
100w + hex beam
Home brew cootie key
JL1MUT 589

JL1MUT
100w + 3el Yagi
Home brew cootie key
VK7CW 589

Steve San checked 14349khz at 0910utc at the first but it seemed to be the thing after I QSY 30m.
20m was excellent band condx.
We enjoyed the chat checking others with CQ SSN.
We tried to QSO on 160m at 1030utc.
It was failed.

The result is shown as below.

VK5EEE, VK4BGR and JL1MUT, 3 stations joined the net.

VK5EEE

VK4BGR 100 NIL

VK4BGR
JL1MUT 589

JL1MUT
VK5EEE 579
VK4BGR 577

The band condx was excellent on 20m tonight.
I guess that VK4BGR, George San had the trouble with his transmitter.
The response of his transmission was not smooth and the ripple was heard on his signals.
VK6RR, Roy San received my signals at RST549 but I guessed that his noise level was high.
VK5EEE, Lou San told me about it for the QSP. I guess that Lou San communicated to Roy San through the inter net.

0933 - 0944utc

VK5EEE
JL1MUT 489 career QRM

JL1MUT
VK5EEE 469 career QRM

We had career QRM on bothside and QSY back to 140349khz at 0945utc and kept the QSO until at 0953utc.

This late afternoon, I worked LZ, OK, I, HB9, DL and EA via LP at 0700 - 0830utc before the net.
20m was so excellent.
I hope to hear Europeans on the net.

I didn't copy Steve San, VK7CW for much city noise.
I used 20m yagi for receiving and managed to copy him at RST529.
We did QSY back to 14349khz at 0947utc for poor band condx.

---

0948 - 1002utc
14349khz

VK7CW
JL1MUT 599 to 579

JL1MUT
VK7CW 589 to 569

We still held good propagation on 20m. But Steve San started to go down to RST569 at the end of the net

Thanks for the chat, dear Steve San.
