Howdy Folks,
    Another very hectic week at our house.  I flew to Wisconsin and had a 
negative experiment in the art of QRP from a 5th floor hotel room.  Heard 
0, 9, 8, and 2 land ops but could not get anyone to hear my mighty 5 watt 
signal.  Not via CQ nor tail ending.  That was on 20, 30, 40 and 80 
meters.  Heard many, many operators and an automatic station (W1AW) but no 
one heard me.  Never fear I shall return, I will never surrender, but try, 
try again.  Eventually I will prevail.
    Looks like sunspots are back in vogue so hopefully that CME will not 
rock the ionosphere too badly before tomorrow evening.  All y'all are 
welcome to test your rig, your copy skills, and the conditions tomorrow 
night.  You can even use text messaging if you like.  But cell phones do 
not work up on this mountain.  However, they are a good test of reception 
and the art of QRPp with a compromise antenna.

Please join us:

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7pm PDT)  7045 kHz

Dan.

See you tomorrow night,
    Kevin.  KD5ONS
