Net105 Mheard List for Port "HF"

A Sample Logging of Packet Radio Stations...

Most packet radio stations have the capability to monitor "traffic" on their listening frequency, and some even have the added ability to log this information in either a file or a database! (The list is usually named after some variation of the standard "mheard" list.) The table below logs the mheard listing for the NET105 HF network, found on 14.105 Mhz.

This listing proves useful in a number of ways. First, it lets the station operator know that the packet radio receiving system is working. Just because you can hear the packets on the radio doesn't always mean they are being decoded properly. It's re-assuring to see the data actually going by on the screen, especially when working with new or experimental software, or a newly configured TNC.

A second reason, and certainly a more prevalent one, is to simply see who is on frequency today, who is around for a chat or a QSO. If you don't have immediate access to your station, or if you are not a ham, but like to "follow" this kind of activity, or if you are travelling and still have internet access, here is a way to see who was on the the NET105 network today! (You might even see yourself here...) And if you need to see who has been on this year so far, you can browse the list at YTD Mheard for a summary of all stations heard from my location.



A List of HF Packet Stations Heard Today:

Disclaimers:

The table displayed below is taken from my mheard list for 14.105 Mhz, or the NET105 frequency. There are many stations on the net that I cannot hear from my listening area, so this is a partial listing. It is only what I can hear from my location outside Boston, MA. (The data will be refreshed several times during the day, about every 2 to 3 hours, but not overnight.)

The table will also stay in place continuously; check the dates and times for relevance... Times are not in UTC, but in Eastern Standard Time. The order is last heard, first listed. The number to the right of the port name, hf, is the number of packets heard at the last data compilation... A second table below sorts the callsigns alphabetically for easy reference.

If you would like to see "live" packet feeds for this HF port and monitor the activity on the frequency, take a look at the "connections" page, Connections, and see if the local server, Radio Station KA1FSB, is on-line.

NOTE: If you have consulted this page more than once today, be sure to "reload" it, or "refresh" it, to get the latest updates... :) (As you know, "reloading" forces new data into the cache.)
