Utility / 14452.5 USB CFARS propagation exercise net #3
« on: February 05, 2012, 1630 UTC »
1629Z 45444 Bunch of stations doing comm checks. Talked about frequency Foxtrot & Golf (14452.5 is not Golf).
Callsigns on the net:
CHH709
CIW222
CIW304
CIW308 Made reference to the propagation net exercise. Also calling for any MARS stations.
CIW318
CIW319
CIW322 Name is Mike.
CIW408
CIW444
CIW615
CIW650 Net control. CFARS session 3 of the propagation net exercise.
CIW681 (in Edmonton)
XLG988 Signal Regiment (forgot the regiment number). In Yellow Knife.
A bunch of them were going to go to frequency Golf. Did some earlier propagation checks on Golf, but no contact. So more went. Golf is higher in frequency somewhere.
CFARS. If so, then (from the Canadian Military Frequency Guide):
Alpha: 13971.0
Bravo: 14584.5
Charlie: 14445.0
Delta: 14458.5
Echo: 20957.0
Foxtrot: 20970.0
Golf: 20962.0*
Hotel: 20870.0
India: 20770.0
Juliet: 14452.5*

Yankee: 4051.0
Zulu: 4022.0
Other: 6977.0, 13970.0, 14385.0
* Confirmed from this exercise
Listened on Golf and heard some very weak stations. One of them said to go back to Juliet. Now there's a bunch back on 14452.5.
1648Z Juliet Checking for stations that can operate on channel Quebec.
1653Z Juliet The went to Quebec.
1656Z Juliet Stations coming back to Juliet. Stations had trouble establishing comms on Quebec.
1658Z Juliet Now wanting to check frequency Whiskey.

1728Z Juliet CIW322 wants 709, 615, 681, 650, 644 to try Yankee. Supposedly better for local comms. 644 has no antennas for that frequency.
1732Z Whiskey I tried 4051, but hear nothing, which isn't surprising.
1733Z Juliet Net stations are dropping in strength here.

1745Z Juliet CIW650 said that he's losing a lot of the CIW3 stations. CIW308 confirmed dropping signal levels of CIW3 stations, but picking up CIW5 stations better.
1746Z Juliet CIW444 wants to try Golf. CIW650 now asking others to go to Golf.
1749Z Golf CIW516 can hear CIW318. I can barely hear 516, cannot hear 318.

1848Z Juliet Yesterday were nets 1 & 2. Mentioned that today's net was much more organized.
1850Z Juliet XLG988: Comments of the net: Went very well. Suggested to try daytime freq Oscar and at night Whiskey next time.
1855Z Juliet CIW318. Couldn't hear him, but 650 summarized. Mentioned that future attempts on 18 Megs has been bought up (Oscar??)
1857Z Juliet CIW650 (relaying for CIW444) Next net at 22Z (regular CFARS net), there may be some U.S. MARS stations on.
1859Z Juliet CIW444 wished that CIW304 could crawl out of that RF hole up there.
