17 GhostNet Australia 0700-0730 UTC 0730-0800 UTC 0800-0830 UTC 0830-0900 UTC Though set up to be a weekly event, during contingent circumstances this plan can be used for battle tracking incidents as needed. Weekly Every Thursday Night All Times GMT Details JS8Call (40m) NVIS 7.107 MHz Use Offsets to find a clear space to transmit. All messages along the band will be decoded anyway, so pick any offset that’s available. NOTE: NOT STANDARD JS8 CONFIG, YOU MUST CHANGE THE FREQ! Offset chosen based on availability. For standard message traffic, check-ins and POSREPs. Heartbeats sent below offset of 1000 Hz. If many stations are present, JS8 can be used to allocate freqs for further comms. Groups shall be used to organize traffic and all stations shall monitor at minimum @GHOSTNET and @GSTFLASH. See below for complete list of Group Names. Winlink P2P (Vara, USB) NVIS 7.107 MHz Stations wishing to exchange emails may do so during this comm window. Use Vara HF Peer-to-Peer Connection with designated callsigns to avoid linking with formal Winlink nodes. Handshakes start at 2035Z, data burst as long as it takes. Use the JS8Call window to determine callsigns, and the order of stations sending emails. Emails should be posted to outbox BEFORE comm window to maximize efficiency. RTTY 7.077 MHz Use short RTTY bursts to transmit blindly to stations that missed check-in. Stations missing windows are to use RTTY presets on radio to communicate problem. If contact is re-acquired, can re-send critical msg traffic that was missed earlier. If so desired, RTTY can also be used to send traffic to SWL-only stations during this window. HF Voice Simplex LSB (40m) 7.190 MHz ONLY FOR USE IN A DIRE EMERGENCY, NOT A STANDARD NET HF voice freq shall be monitored for the last five minutes of all comm windows, no matter how the window flexes. If a station misses all prior check-ins, stations with highest likelihood of comm success will initiate voice calls for missing station as required. If station is expected to participate in the net, but is still not heard, proceed with Emergency PACE plan. @GHOSTNET - Generalized group for tagging routine messages. Also very useful for identifying callsigns not previously known. @GN(Country Three Letter Code)(State Two-Letter Code) - For example: “@GNUSASC” is the GhostNet group for South Carolina, USA. For regional comms directed to a specific state. State-level organizations may choose to further divide into districts within a state or other geographic area. @GSTFLASH - Emergency FLASH traffic: Any station in receipt of a GSTFLASH message shall transmit at once to highest level HQ within range via any means necessary. Weekly HF radio communications network. For efficiency, this will largely be a data-only net, with voice comms only being used in an emergency to coordinate further link-ups. 45.45 Baud
