Hi Danny,
Well, I reckon all the people who needed it (or think they will ever want it) have
received the message, and are just waiting for the action to occur! I don't think
there is too much any of us can do at this point other than sit here and wait
anxiously - not a whole lot more to talk about until Thursday night.
Of course, everyone is hoping for incredible Es, plentiful meteors, and a quiet Kp so
the EME signals will be stupendous ;-) I am sure all the chat pages will be abuzz
as soon as word gets out that K4N is QRV, and we can help spread the word more at
that time...although I think they will have their hands full with callers by then!
Enjoy the calm before the storm! GL and VY 73, Lance
