Ha, ha, ha... when I moved to Oregon over a decade ago all my friends in
sunnier climes said I'd hate the rain. A year or two later I wrote back
saying it wasn't the rain. That's fine. The issue in the Oregon wet season
is the MUD. Oregon MUD is everywhere, as anyone who knows the play "Paint
Your Wagon" can tell you ;-)

Good Evening,
I am going to take a chance but the intention is to keep the nets at the
same local time while changing the Zulu time in accordance with the change
from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time. So I think that means I should
add an hour to fix things. What had been 2300z becomes 0000z and what was
0100z will be 0200z. If I am wrong (which seems to occur each time I
attempt this) I will know almost instantaneously due to the Elecraft Fact
Checking Reflector. Mea culpa :( However, I have grown inured to my
foibles.
Weather in Oregon is soggy and grey. Kind of normal for the rainy season
though. We really only have two seasons: muddy and dusty. All you need to
do is look at my truck to know which one we're experiencing. The color in
the leaves is fading and a lot of them are covering the ground. But this is
necessary to feed the next generation of trees and support the wee beasties
that create soil. Smells good too ;) The veeries come along and scatter
the duff in search for bugs to eat and make odd calls as I walk through
their territory.
Propagation was good up until yesterday when the noise level jumped and
fading was high. Our recent sunspot grouping has moved to the limb of the
sun soon to disappear. Upon reading Space Weather I find I may have been
hearing the effects of the change in the tilt of our magnetic field which
allowed the solar wind to strongly effect our magnetosphere. Maybe the
propagation will be better due to the new ions zipping about.
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)
Monday 0000z (Sunday 4 PM PST) 14050 kHz

Stay well,
