Following yesterday's discussion of the Net's past operation on 75 m, I looked at my logbook records and found that the Saturday morning net used 3920 kHz in the 1994 - 1997 time frame. Making note of the member stations that checked during that period I produced this Google map showing their locations to reveal the Net's viability on 75 m during the low period of the sunspot cycle. The map supports our understanding of the membership as being concentrated mainly in LA, MS, AL, GA. The highest member number among check-ins at that time was 272.
Click on the link below the map to get a larger view with more navigation features. Many of the member locations shown are only at the city level of detail, not street address. It is interesting to compare this map with the one produced earlier this year that reflects participation in the 2008-2009 time frame.
