CARS 40 Meter Procedure Suggestion

Hello All

    Due to difficult short and long range propagation issues on 40 meters over the last few months and the need to keep the NET active for CARS I have investigated and tested a suggested method to help remedy the issue.

    Mike Kb6USJ, Mark N6IV and I have tested communication using the Northern WEB SDR receiver as a secondary receiver in our operating positions.  This morning I could not hear Mike or Mark in Pittsburg but both were very readable of 5×7 into Northern Utah. Further, I have meet a small groupd every morning on 7.198 and they are form Idaho, Aurora Co., Chino Valley Arizona. The station in AZ comes in at a usual 5×8 plus but CO and Idaho are Zero here in Pittsburg. However all can be heard at the Northern Utah SDR.

For next Monday and as long as necessary, I will monitor the SDR as well as direct checkins.  I strongly suggest that others do the same so that we can keep the 40 meter net going,
