Monitor's Note:

As per info posted ..read .. The Hambel Belgaum Net is on 7150kHz lsb ex 7050kHz lsb  permanently  effective 01-01-26 

Time:0700-0830 IST(0130-0300 UTC) written by VU2PNU ,ONE OF THE NET  CONTROLLER  BELGAUM NET....posted by different person in a amateur radio whatsapp group. .

I thought it is a temporary step in view  of recent QRM on 7050kHz lsb ...many told me about it's permanent  shift to 7150kHz lsb , but no formal post was found by me, now it's official ..as per the latest post . One of amateur radio operator from West Bengal has expressed his fear of possible interference(QRM) on 7145kHz lsb (the informal Eastern India Ham Net)( used by Eastern Indian Hams viz West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkand, Odisha, also from North East India, also from Nepal & Bangladesh) for QSOs, from 7150kHz lsb.So far, no such reports of QRM atleast here in Assam on 7145kHz from 7150kHz as per my monitoring at my location Abhayapuri in Western Assam & other regions.Lets hope for the best.

From 0858ist approx. onwards VU2YPB was checking his transmitter section of transreceiver with VU3OKB going Up & down by a few kHzs for a few minutes,later return to usual frequency,earlier VU2YPB's audio slightly got distorted(due to slightly low charge level in battery) & he sorted it out by lowering the power slightly (as he often does)but no effect on signal strength level here in my place.He was using his Yaseu commercial transreceiver with battery and homebrewed 40mb horizontal dipole centre feed.His homebrewed antenna has been working fine as per my assessment for a long time.

More reports/observations etc soon.

Monitor's QRN Note:

I was surprised to hear VU2DBM on 7055kHz in place of  our local frequency of 7070kHz.But later in his QSO with VU2OWB,he informed due to a QRM on 7070kHz ,he had to QSY to 7055kHz.In fact,he mentioned it several times during his QSOs with others on 7070kHz lsb about noise on 7070kHz he was experiencing.Today early in the morning I had not found any type QRN/QRM on 7070kHz lsb but after 0851ist(0321utc), there was noise on 7070kHz  and same type of noise on 7165-7175kHz & again on 7115-7120kHz.And in my area, a certain type of noise can be audible in the morning every day on 7065kHz which prevents me listening to morning Delhi HF Net.
