[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Another very fine week has passed.  Weather has been good and today was very nice.  However, that will soon come to an end.  Tomorrow we are due for a snow shower which will last at least until Wednesday if not longer.  That being said the band was much nicer Friday than it had been earlier in the week.  A solar wind stream from a coronal hole hit the earth's ionosphere.  During its travel it snapped off the tail of Comet Lulin.  The good news is: it will grow back and the comet is now a naked eye object in Aries.  For those of you with clear, pre-dawn skies take a look near Zubenelgenubi and you'll find the blue-green glow of cyanogen ions indicating the coma.  Binoculars or a small telescope will reveal both tails.  The anti-tail of dust and the more common ion tail which is pushed away by the solar wind. 

Please join us tomorrow evening.
