My normal relay stations will not be available tomorrow, Sunday July 6th. If you
are in the southeast, deep south, midwest or southwest, and can assist tomorrow,
please contact me by e-mail.
The unusual and extreme instability of twenty meters the past few weeks has made
NCS duties frustrating, to put it mildly. Last week when W5JT, Jim Thayer, was
live in the Ham shack, he was dumfounded when I heard half a dozen check ins he
could not hear at all. Just a practiced ear that sometimes recognizes a voice,
unusual tonal quality or fragment of a call sign. It comes with a lot of
practice. But having a relay station or two present to hear those stations in my
near skip zone really helps a lot. So if you can be there to help out, it would
be appreciated.
Thanks.
