Tips for checking into the net:

1. 10 meter usually exhibits line of sight propagation at night (sometimes further!). For best results use a full size 10 meter outdoor antenna that is mounted high and clear of obstacles.

2. Some of our stations use horizontal and others use vertical polarized antennas. Reception is best between stations that are similarly polarized.

3. Most check-ins transmit 100 watts. You will be harder to hear with less power.

4. If you don't hear net control, ask for a station you hear to relay your check-in.
