I thought that the net was at 5 pm as announced earlier. But I think the time has been changed to 5.30 pm IST (1200z), as I started hearing the net by that time only, at 14.195 MHz. Meanwhile I could hear LU9MBY loud and clear on 14.200 MHz, working several VU stations and other DX stations, for about 30 minutes before the net. Though I tried calling him a few times, I was not lucky enough to reach him. Looking at the QRZ page of LU9MBY, there is no wonder that he was heard loud and clear. He has a fantastic super station! Here is a short record of LU9MBY working on 14.200 MHz. You can also see his signal on the waterfall display and S meter showing 5,9+ signal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today evening I was on 20m, looking for the weekly Akash Bandhan Net.
