Akash Bandhan (Bangladesh and India): New Weekly Amateur Radio HF Net

A new weekly Amateur Radio HF Net was started today at 17:00 IST (UTC+5.30) on 14.195 MHz. Net controllers were S21HA from Bangladesh and VU3JXF from Kolkatha, India. Technical support was by S21AF and co-net controllers were VU3JOJ, VU2LKE and S21PL. There were total of 25 check-in for the debut net, including net controllers. Stations who checked in were from VU land, S21 land and 4S6. I could hear many of the VU stations and 4S6CPT well. Copy was not good from S21 stations at my end, though I could hear S21PL fairly well. Though I tried to check in several times, I could not get through. On most days, I find it difficult to reach Eastern part of the country and Bangladesh with my setup, though occasionally, I do have contacts. Here is a short audio clip of the net. Though I had recorded for over 30 minutes, the noise level was quite high most of the time.
