IDX Net Announcement!!! - Another Worldwide HF Radio Net Session on Wednesday, 03 March 2021 on HS4
We know that it could be a tall order during the low solar-cycle phase to conduct HF radio net that covers a large portion of the globe simultaneously to span over almost all continents... Nevertheless, India DX Net (IDXN) after due diligence has decided to run the third session since the commencement of this new solar- cycle #25 that has just begun.
On Wednesday, the 3rd March 2021,, starting at around 12:30 - 13:00 UTC, we will run the IDX Net on HS4. We will decide the operating band just before the beginning of the net session based on prevailing propagation conditions...
The objective of the IDX Net session is to dispel the false notion that the HF propagation conditions are poor and also to provide opportunities for everyone to participate in extreme DX communication. The Net will endeavor to be in constant and simultaneous contact with stations from all around the world including, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,, New Zealand, Caribbean, and parts of North & South America which poses the biggest propagation challenge for the Net Controller with the QTH in India. Therefore, the participation of operator's from west-coast of NA will probably not be possible, while the east-coast and central USA and Canada should be easy. The net might not be accessible from most parts of South America because the sun will be overhead in the South Atlantic region resulting in a strong ionospheric D-layer producing unacceptable signal attenuation.
The IDX Net controller will maintain continuous contact will stations from all across the world at the same time without missing a beat or swinging his antenna around... Join us from from all across the world and be a part of the magic... And also experience and learn more about the finer aspects of HF radio propagation.
To access a wealth of information and learn more about HF radio propagation, antennas, and other amateur radio related stuff on a continual basis, join our regular net sessions on Mon, Wed, Friday on HS3 at 12:15 UTC on 28.455 MHz and also join the IDX Net Facebook Group at...
