Howdy Folks,
We had two very good nets this evening. Twenty meters had QSB from
East to West and it was a little light to me. Forty meters had it all:
QRM from the Flying Pigs, QRN from a storm somewhere in the Midwest, and
QSB would come and go throughout the net. Made life interesting ;) My
faithful Co-NCS was hard pressed to find stations on twenty but made up
for it on forty meters. Thank you Tom, I appreciate the respite where I
can unscramble my notes.
Between the two nets I made and ate dinner, finished the laundry, split
some more wood, hauled, and stacked it. I did the dishes too just to keep
myself busy. The sun is now out but the fire is keeping Sam and I warm.
I hope the wood I've been stacking dries out as fast as possible because I
may need it for the rest of the summer to keep the chill out of the
house! Summer may actually get up here before the foxgloves start
blooming. They are getting underway at 200 feet in elevation but none
have started above 1000 feet. When the foxgloves have bloomed their way
to the top of the stalk the summer is fading into autumn. It is a good
time to cut more wood!

Thank you all for the fun nets this evening. If there are any errors
in the above lists please do not hesitate to correspond with me so I may
fix them. We are very near 2500 check ins for the history of the net
(2484). This total is from 420 different radio operators. It was nice to
meet each and every one of you. However, I am sure there are many more
folks who would like to try once they've built their KX1, K1, or K2. Some
like to check in with each new rig they build just to see how they work
;) I've got quite a list of serial numbers too but I do not have a clean
sweep of all of the folks who've participated. We are also two states shy
of WAS ECN style. If you'd like to correct that problem please check in
from Delaware or South Dakota the next time you pass through either of
them. I wonder if we can get some more wall paper for the web site for
500 serial numbers?
Until next week,
Stay warm (or cool) and stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
