Good Evening,
When Roy, K6XK, sent his weather report I was reminded of the
drought which fed the Peshtigo Fire. That made me remember the Chicago
Fire. So I checked: there were a number of great fires during late
September to early October 1871.
Propagation on twenty meters was good. Moderate QSB - S3 to S8 for
instance. Some noise. Forty meters had good signals with a little less
QSB. There were a few storms, but they were distant. I avoided
contesting for both nets. Clear frequencies nearby were easy to find.
On 14049.5 kHz at 2200z:
W0CZ - Ken - ND
K0DTJ - Brian - CA
K6XK - Roy - IA
NO8V - John - MI
W8OV - Dave - TX
On 7047.0 kHz at 0000z:
W0CZ - Ken - ND
K0DTJ - Brian - CA
K6PJV - Dale - CA
WM5F - Dwight - ID
Until next week 73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
