Good Evening, The nets went well. A couple new folks and a couple I have not heard from in a while; one with a new call. Twenty meters had some QRN on it which is uncharacteristic. Forty had more but then that is normal. Only a little QSB on both nets so the sun is helping more than harming things though the RTTY contest may have improved propagation just a little ;) Weather reports were for mostly fall-like conditions even though the Coloradans were describing quite a warm day. Here I am fluctuating between rain and sun; it all depends upon where the stream from the Pacific is aimed. A little further north and it is sunny and warm. A little further south and it is sunny and cold. In between it is rainy and cold. In any case the next week will be dry so I will be loading and unloading my F250 as many times as possible. Four wheel low is the order of the day.
On to the lists => On 14050 kHz at 2200z: K1THP - Dave - CT - K3 - 686 NO8V - John - MI - K3 - 820 N0TA - John - CO - K3 - 994 W0CZ - Ken - ND - K3 - 457 WA3MIX - Lou - PA - K3 - 4290 WB5BKL - Nick - TX - K3 - 231 W0RSR - Mike - CO - K2 - 5767 W4ATK - Jim - AL - K2 - 4028 W8OV - Dave - TX - K3 - 3139 NU0T - Karl - IA - K2 - 4227 On 7044 kHz at 0000z: K0DTJ - Brian - CA - K3 - 4113 K6DGW - Fred - CA - K3 - 642 AB9V - Mike - IN - K3 - 398 W8OV - Dave - TX - K3 - 3139 W0RSR - Mike - CO - K2 - 5767 K1THP - Dave - CT - K3 - 686 AC6JA - Mike - CA - K3 - 3215 I hope the sun stays active so we can experience ever better conditions as the autumn season progresses into winter. I'll do some antenna work before the rains become incessant so I am ready for the worst of it. I may replace one and now that there is more open space I can plan a loop which will have predictable break points for when the portable spar poles drive through the property. If only I lived on the fifteen acre side. But then I would have a demolished house from all the fallen timber. Maybe I should build a nice log cabin radio shack over there so I can get away from it all :) Until next week stay well, 73, Kevin.
