Good Evening, I do believe forty meters will be the death of me! Well, at least of my hearing ;) It was very loud tonight. The second half of the net had most operators working beneath the noise. There seemed to be a long line of prospective check ins too. I just got back from a walk with the black cat. Well, I walked he sort of squirmed around as I carried him. We got to the edge of the property where we could see into the mountains toward the ocean. I put him down and he went home. The twenty meter net ran for half an hour whereas the second net went for a little over an hour. With band noise came propagation. Funny thing how that works. On 20 there were many reports of QSB but I only heard it once. No QSB on 40 but there were both of the other two unfortunate Q codes. Before the net, as I was eating, I was listening to 40 meters and heard many voices. I did not hear them while I was running the net however. I wonder where they were located?

I want to get this off and get ready for the coming week. The weather promises to be very nice. I am going to enjoy the remaining summer days. Tomorrow I am going to take a hike and see if the intermittent springs are running. If not I will hike further until they push out of the ground lower down the hillside. As ever if there are any errors please send me an email with the corrections I will amend my notes and the database. Until next week stay well, 73, Kevin.
