Though I could hear many stations well, I could not reach the net control. Though the Akash Bandhan Net is scheduled to start at 17:00 IST (UTC+5.30), I could hear it well only at about 17.45 IST. To begin with I could hear VU3JOJ for a short period and then I heard VU2OO asking whether anyone is copying him. VU2OO was coming here 5,9+20 dB. Soon I heard S21PL calling for checkins for Akash Bandhan Net. I gave a reply and VU2OO called me back! VU2OO was copying me 5,9 as he was beaming to South. Soon VU2OO started beaming to Dhaka and was heard well. VU2JRT also joined and was very strong here. I was quite happy to participate in the Akash Bandhan New Weekly Amateur Radio HF Net for the first time. Here is an audio recording of the Akash Bandhan Net in progress of about five and half minutes. Noise level is rather high in my radio, with QTH in the city area, please bear with me. My audio is somehow very weak in the recording taken with an SD card inserted into FT-710. May be I have to change some of the settings to get a better recording of the audio from my PTT mic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had tried to checkin to the debut Akash Bandhan Weekly Amateur Radio HF Net on 14.195 MHz a couple of weeks back.
