Good Evening,
Twenty meters was fairly quiet yet it provided strong signals. Two CT
stations both of whom sounded very good. However, I wonder where everyone else
has gone? Maybe the long spate of unfavorable propagation has forced them into
other endeavors. Maybe a bit of advertising during the week will help regain
lost contacts.
Forty meters had some QRN but not bad, not like some weeks where my ears
rang for half an hour afterward. Weather reports were mostly pleasant except
for the Midwest. The two CT station both had lower temperatures than I would
have expected. Even reports from California were cooler. Here it has been
very nice. No need for heat or for air conditioning for a number of weeks.
On to the lists =>
On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K3 - 457
AB9V - Mike - IN - K3 - 398
K1THP - Dave - CT - K3 - 686
N0AR - Scott - MN - K2 - 4866
W0RSR - Mike - CO - K2 - 5767
K1EV - Bill - CT - K2 - 2152
W6BK - Dave - CA - K2 - 4910
On 7045.5 kHz at 0000z:
K6DGW - Fred - CA - K3 - 642
K6PJV - Dale - CA - K2 - 5345
KL7CW - Rick - AK - KX1 - 798
W0RSR - Mike - CO - K2 - 5767
K7SJ - Roger - WA - K3 - 75
I will write a little more during the week to see if I can stir up interest
in ECN once again. The sun is doing its part and hopefully the coming weeks
will show further propagation increases. I will monitor 15, 12, and 10 meters
to see how the higher bands are doing and extrapolate that knowledge downward
to determine MUF. It may be time for me to put up a vertical to get a
different look on the continent. Hopefully DX stations will be heard once
again too. I almost asked K1EV to act as NCS as he has done so well in the
past. Next week I shall do so.
Until then stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
