[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for January 13th & 14th, 2008

[Kevin Rock]

Hi Geoff,
   Conditions were wonderful on twenty meters this morning.  I had a fifteen minute contact into Oklahoma which was the best it has been in quite some time.  I have found through the sunspot minimum the sun is still very active, just not speckled!  Those CMEs can do wonders for propagation after the initial problems induced by the stronger ones.  Thank you Mr. Heaviside for all the work you did on your eponymous layer and for cleaning up the Maxwell equations!
   73,
      Kevin.  KD5ONS
