Good Evening,
I have been scanning the lower bands since mid-December. For the
last two weeks activity on 160 and 80 meters has slowed. I was hoping
for better. Upon checking SpaceWeather.com I find the sun is still
streaming ions our way; in fact there is a wind at the moment.
I am also tracking an incoming storm. When I first saw the
forecast I thought there was a typo: 20 inches of snow tomorrow? Eeeek!
That means I'll need to shovel the roof at least once. Right now it is
in the 40s and raining cats and dogs. How and when the temperature
drops below freezing will make all the difference. Freezing rain tested
the antennas again just a few days ago.
Because of the lack of propagation on 40 meters I have moved it
forward in time by an hour. So those of you who have not eaten too much
tomorrow can find me a bit earlier. If I am not on the air it is
because of the storm. I expect to lose power and maybe my antennas,
it's just a matter of when.
Please join us tomorrow on:
14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
