Good Evening,
I hope you have all recovered from Thanksgiving ;) I have lost track
of the number of times it has snowed. I think its at six now but today's
is the only one which has lasted for more than a few hours. Not much
though, about an inch. The sun was out but it did not warm much of
anything. Sam and I stayed inside after I collected enough wood for the
next few days. I was working on some classes for the local ARES group.
Both a few I am going to teach and a few I took to stay certified. FEMA
IS-100, 200, 700, and 800A to be exact. I feel like I am back in college
;) Only these classes are a lot more boring than ECE!
We have been hit by a solar wind but I am still hearing plenty of folks
on 20 and 40 meters. They seem to be having fun in the contest. Since it
was only background 'music' I did not pay attention to who was on the air
or where they were from. It is just nice to hear the sound of CW in the
background as I cook and clean and study. I did get a coat of paint on my
new walls but I was lead astray by my classes. I am close to moving my
gear but I am caught up in design work at the same time. Simply because I
am not in my new work area doesn't mean I can't design some new gadget.
I am not sure if this contest will be over by net time. Let me go
check ... ah, here is the skinny: 2006 CQWW CW Contest: 0000 UTC, November
25 through 2359 UTC, November 26. Looks like they'll leave the air just
as I start calling CQ. How convenient ;) So if you are not exhausted
from working 24 hours straight please drop in on us. You can nap later
:) The sunspot number has been at zero for a few days but the solar wind
keeps recharging the ionosphere. All in all things work out pretty well.
Please join us:
Monday 0000z (Sunday 4 PM PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0300z (Sunday 7 PM PST) 7045 kHz
