FreeDV 40M Tuesday Night Activity Net (7182kHz +/- QRM) Report for 12/23/25 (Wednesday 0200Z)

[Fred Larrick]

Below is the list of stations that participated in the FreeDV 40M Tuesday Night Activity Net that met on 12/23/25 at 9 PM EST on 7188 kHz. We moved to this frequency due to a DX station operating on 7182 kHz. However, there was another “net” on 7188 which caused interference. We need to stick to the same frequency +/- 1 kHz each week if we hope to establish a presence. For now, let’s try to establish 7182 +/- 1 kHz. 7177 kHz might be a good alternative if FreeDV QSOs have already “cleared” the frequency.

Dudley, WA5QPZ, recorded this net on YouTube on his YouTube channel “WA5QPZ” and provided an Echolink connection to a receiver in Utah under his callsign. I routinely use his Echolink connection to hear stations that I might not otherwise copy.

Two other comments:

1. Please put your name and QTH into FreeDV Reporter when you start the FreeDV program. This will help all of us learn who is who.

2. If you can (assuming you want to try it), download “Netlogger” and monitor the net. This will put you onto a list in the order that you start monitoring from which I can easily create an organized check-in list. You can also see the check-in list that I have created which includes FreeDV Reporter stations as well as any other over-the-air check-ins. This is how Dudley and I try to keep the two of us in sync. If you see the designation “lurking”, it means that I have not yet added you to the list of check-ins.

I hope that everyone enjoyed the net. See you on Tuesday, December 29th at 9 PM EST.

73,
