It is a little difficult to determine what you are trying to do, but
I think I understand it.

Your "net" source is listening to the loopback address. I think your
intention is "messages from myself" but messages that are generated on the local
host do NOT go through the network, not even on the loopback address. For local messages
you need to use /dev/log and /proc/kmsg

Then in your "log" statements need to reference the "src" source rather than the "net" source.
