[brey1234]

Anyone interested in starting a net for scanner/HF monitors? Maybe 40/20 meters during the weekend?

Hey Bob! It sounds like the old ANARC 40 meter shortwave net that covered the East Coast in the late eighties and the early 90's. I wonder where the rest of the gang are?

This comes up every couple of years. Somebody tries to organize an HF net, nobody checks in, conversation ends...until the next time somebody comes up with the same great idea.

Yeah, the original ANARC net died because of the internet (chat rooms are not subject to propagation), poor propagation, changes in net control, loss of interest - check all of the above and likely more.

I'm afraid it's an idea whose time has come and gone. 73 Mike

Because most of the comments are from the local area I will monitor 7.200 Mhz this Saturday, 7/11/2009 @ 10am Eastern and see who shows up ;-)

I worked a couple of stations on 7.200 Mhz but the QRN level here was S7 ;-(

WIll try again next Saturday---Same freq--same time

That was one of the technical problems with the ANARC net Sunday mornings at 10AM 0n 7240.
