Good Evening All,
The net was successful. Folks checked in mostly from the Eastern
realms with one from way down in Abilene. I think Dario was testing my
ears with his 3 watts though ;) Then Bill checked in from CT and was gone
the next instant. Too bad about the QSB. I was hearing a little on my
end but was being told of a lot of it from the other end. I was glad we
had any propagation at all after all those flares from the sun. Next week
I think I may camp out to watch the aurora here in the Pacific Northwest.
Ms. P has never seen them so it would be a treat for her. I am from the
Midwest where we were much closer to the magnetic north pole. Aurora were
common for us.
On 14050 kHz at 2300z:
KI8JM - Bob - OH - K2 - 3630
K4BEH - Pat - GA - Ten Tec - soon to be running a K2!
KG0NL - Philip - MO - ?
N9IV - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650
VE3XL - Ric - ON - Ten Tec also - running 100 watts
AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993
N5QVF - Dario - TX - K2 - 3443 - running at 3 watts.
K1EV - Bill - CT - K2 - 2152
Thank you all for joining me this evening. It was interesting to see who
I could work from which parts of the continent. It appears there will be
a few new Elecraft rigs on the air in the not too distant future. Please
try them out on the net so we can all copy you and give reports. Mostly
it will be a matter of antennas and propagation since the rigs are all the
same. It is fun to hear a new one though.
If there are any errors in the above list please send me the correction.
If you tried to check in but I did not hear you I am sorry. Please try
again next week, maybe twenty meters will be recharged after all the
flares have ceased.
Until then 73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
