I AF4Y and Bob Peterson AD4Y are encouraging any station that checks in to the KYW and more especially our Kentucky stations to consider joining CoCoRaHS. This is a community collaborative weather reporting initiative by NOAA. More details can be found at https://www.cocorahs.org/
FEEL FREE TO TEXT ME at 6063353928 OR EMAIL MINUS THE SPACES BETWEEN LETTERS (r o l a n d @ r e b r o w n . o r g) IF YOU THINK MY STATION HAS WENT DOWN
***NOTE 1: JS8CALL in addition to Winlink. Both running at the same time on same frequency. I suggest adding @KYWN to your call groups and then sending a "SNR?" to the group. This serves two purposes, if you see the SNR is not good to AF4Y you may want to wait to send your P2P Winlink Check-in and second it let's you know who else may be monitoring the @KYWN group. Feel free to check-in to any or all of them.***
***P2P PARTICIPANTS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SEND A MESSAGE WHEN THE NET IS ON ANY BAND , JUST REMEMBER TO SELECT THE CORRECT BAND ON YOUR FORM***

There is some kind of constant digital signal on 7.094.5 this afternoon,
making checking in impossible. I'll try again in the morning.

I am thinking about altering the 40m frequency because there is some sort of PSK31 net that kicks in around 5 and will goto 7:30 or 8pm EDT on Wednesday night some weeks.

I was able to pass my checkin beginning at 1945EDT with no issue and did not hear anything else in the Dayton area.
Just a data point. I could see where a net might go longer and I missed it by chance.

Here is the link to the KY map. As you can see we need CoCoRAHS stations across the state. You can find a 4 inch rain guage on Amazon that measures rain at 1/100th of an inch on Amazon. The range from $30 -$70. I got a 4x4 from Lowes to mount mine on for $10. The CoCoRaHS site has information on how to mount etc.

That would explain it. This was the first time I ever tried on a Wednesday night.
