There was QSB on everyone which is not that unusual but the very faint stations were testing my hearing (if not my sanity). I was wondering if there was someone there or not half the time ;) Near the end I got N?HDR a couple of times but could not hear even a whisper of the number. However, everyone seemed about half strength from normal. We are in a solar wind but the noise level was about normal. I never will figure out propagation; I think it is just plain magic! Sounds like everyone except Curt is experiencing the onset of winter. During the first net I saw something a bit harder than rain fall from the sky for about a minute but it did not even touch the earth before it melted. This is pretty early for snow but the folks in North Dakota and Minnesota are sure it is coming their way tomorrow. Even Fred said it was chilly and he is in California. The lists => On 14050 kHz at 0000z: W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031 K4JPN - Steve - GA - K2 - 1422 VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968 WA4MQW - Bob - NC - KX1 - 1466 K6DGW - Fred - CA - K2 - 4398 W0CH - Dave - MO - K2 - 1543 K4BEH - Pat - GA - K2 - 5061 QNI #20! N0BK - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646 AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993 AB9CA - Charles - AL - ?? On 7045.50 kHz at 0300z: W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031 QNI #140!!! K6DGW - Fred - CA - K2 - 4398 QNI #40!! N0BK - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646 N0AR - Scott - MN - K2 - 4866 AH6RE - Curt - HI - KX1 - 464 QNI #20! W0CH - Dave - MO - K2 - 1543 AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993 There were a few who I simply could not get on forty meters. On twenty I at least got call signs if I could not complete the exchange. Each week brings new challenges :) Thank you for the relay for W0CH's second check in. I got his call at the end but had very tough copy on him during our forty meter contact. Even AB9V was very tough on forty meters where he is normally fairly strong. Both Minnesota stations were about half strength as was Ken from North Dakota. Something is sucking the RF right out of the aether. Only two KX1s could make the trip this evening. Normally we do much better. I am sorry if I could not hear you or hear you well enough to copy you. Next week the slate is clean and we try again. Until next week stay warm and stay healthy, 73, Kevin.
