Good evening,
Twenty meters seemed weaker than usual with more QRN too. Forty meters
had its fair share of QRN and even weaker signals. However, we were able
to gather 23 check ins between the two nets. At least one of them took
two relays to get back to NCS. The net has had over 2600 check ins during
the course of its existence. 435 separate individuals have checked in
with a variety of gear. Some have gone so far as to check in with SEVEN
different Elecraft rigs. We try to have fun and I think it is contagious.
The weather reports came in a bit cooler than last week but there were
a couple power outages. Mine took a few days to solve completely and now
Ken is cleaning up after his storm in Fargo. Hopefully the damage was
minimal. Most of us need rain but the folks in New Mexico may be asking
for their normal sunshine after the flooding on the Rio Grande. I have
not heard from my friends from Albuquerque yet about how they fared. Pat
and I lived in a house with an arroyo on its back boundary. The reports I
read stated our section of town was hit. Now to find out how bad.

It was nice to hear from you all again. I gathered, via intercept,
that Nigel will be travelling back to New Zealand soon. It sure was nice
to have him join us over the past month. One day I hope to check him in
from his home station. Have a good trip home Nigel! As ever, if there
are any corrections or additions which you can make to the above lists
please email me. I will try to get everything in order but my chores are
eating up a lot of time. I cannot wait until winter when all my summer
chores are past and I am less busy.
Until next week,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
