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 ;-)
Ron (Who now owns a good set of boots)( AC7AC -----Original Message----- 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 Monday 0200z (Sunday 6 PM PST) 7045 kHz Stay well, Kevin.
