Good Evening, Weather has been dry and cool this week. Autumn is most assuredly here. Next week looks rainy but for now the sun is out and the temperatures are in the mid-50s. I went for a walk and was glad I had gloves on this morning. A good brisk walk in the chilly morning air felt good. I had to stay on the roads to avoid the hunters but it was good. I got to see many of the trees changing color across my part of the Coast Range. Vine maple make the hillsides blaze with their bright red leaves. Propagation on twenty meters was pretty good this week. Some light QSB but copy was good. Eighty meters was good the few evenings I checked it. From those examples I hope tomorrow's nets will be pretty good. No sunspots but there has been some solar wind. With our magnetosphere in its present position it does not take much solar activity to awaken the ionosphere. The solar wind seems to slip into the normally blocking field and ions start to circulate. Now to catch some of those ions before they sneak away.
Please join us tomorrow evening. 1) Hail signs (first letter or two of the suffix of your call) 2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help) Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz Monday 0100z (Sunday 6 PM PDT) 7045 kHz Stay well, Kevin.
