40 Meter net turns 80 Meter net out of necessity.



The Tuesday Night 40 Meter net turns 80 Meter net out of necessity on the fly. Lee K4USS took to the air on 40 meters at 2359 Z on Tuesday night for the APRN 40 Meter net. Well folks if you were not there you missed it as Lee took the 40 meter net and multiplied it by 2 and we ended up on 80 meter. Lee has tried very hard to get the ripples work out for the 40 meter net but they just keep coming back even stronger.  With several weeks of giving it his all on 40 it was the straw that broke the camels back as once again 40 meter shut the net net down in record time.


The net was quickly moved to 80 meter at 3.983 and the net came back to life there. Those that were watching on Netlogger (which by the way is a free download on the left sidebar of this page) saw the change in the almost instant messenger window and knew exactly where to go.


The topic for the net was WHAT TYPE OF DISASTERS DO YOU NEED TO PREPARE FOR IN YOUR PARTICULAR AREA.

To all our regulars that missed us please note that the Tuesday night net will now be at 2359 Z (UTC) on 3.961 or as a alternate 3.983 so make a note and please do come and join us at the new location next week.

  1. How do you connect netlogger to your net? When I went on I saw OMISS 80m but nothing for this net. Thanks for your help.

    About 5 till the hour we normally bring netlogger on line after it is up you open the program and click on the button for nets online on the right side of the bar with the buttons. That brings up a window that shows all of the nets online. It will have American Preppers Radio Net as one of them. left click on that line and it will bring our net up on your screen. If you do this before we are online it will not show up. Again about 5 till the top of the hour we bring it online. If you do get on and do the above and we are not there yet click on one of the other nets to see if it is working and then at the top of the hour go to Function at the top of the page click and in the drop down click on stop following the net and then go back to the nets online button and do that again.
