Amateur Radio/ Ohio Hams UPDATE
1/22/2012 3:04:40 PM
On tuesday nights, members of this site try to get together on HF, propagation permitting. There's a few other nets that I frequent where a large majority of the participants are from Ohio. That being said.......
Of the members who participate in the OHTF, who's a ham? I ask for this reason: I see "get together's" pop up all the time, and we get together for beer/wings etc. Is there any interest of running a local "Ohio Arfcom" net?
I'd run it. If the participants are local, we can use a local VHF/UHF repeater. We could also run a state wide net on HF. Hell, If I met a few new friends abroad, it would be worth it.
anyone?
Thanks

Any idea when you guys want to get together? Aside from the VHF only station, is everyone 10-80M capable? Lets say a week from today (1FEB12). We'll call the freq depending on what's open and band conditions right before 8pm per this link and hope to get something together right at 8 pm.

10-40M here. I've got a 80M dipole, but my lot isn't big enough to string it up. I can only use it when I'm out on a field day/portable setup.

I just hooked up a TS-50 I bought to replace an older TS530 that had been down since spring.
Haven't even put the dipole back up, but I have a random wire I can probably tune up 10-80m.
It will be closer to 9EST before I will be home on Feb 1, but will try to check in if I can.

No problem we can find something on 40M, and we can move it to 9EST. I'd like to get as many as I can.

Cleveland area amateur. I lost interest in the hobby and got rid of all my gear except for a couple 2 meter 440 rigs.

I'll look for something open on 40M, 5/10 minutes prior to 9pm. I'll post the freq here, and call CQ Ohio Arfcom for a bit.

BigOhio, I think I heard you check in last night before the noise went over the top for me.
I'll try to get on 40 tonight when I get home.

Yeah, it was actually pretty cool. There were quite a few stations checking in last night. 80m was doing well then when we qsy'd to 40, I bailed. I could not hear crap, and I was beat. Will do it again next week bands permitting.
