Good Evening,
    After three days of snow today turned better.  A little sun but still  
cold.  I have heard that spring has arrived in other areas but it's not  
yet here.  It did warm up to 52 one day and I heard the local frogs  
awaken.  Then right back to cold and frost.  Luckily my wood pile is still  
very large.  No problems heating the house.

    Propagation was alright this week but with all the solar activity there  
were times when the noise was high and QSB drove signals all over the  
place.  Those of you with diversity reception set up must get a little  
dizzy during these times.  Signals jumping from one ear to the other and  
back again.  One day I hope to try that.  First I need to set up a few  
more antennas so I can at least switch between them manually.  I think a  
very large loop would be good.  I want something which will work well on  
160 meters.  The tuner can then allow me to work the higher bands too.

    If anyone is interested in acting as a relay station on either net  
please email me.  I will turn the net over to you for a few minutes so you  
can call areas in my skip zone.  It sure would prove helpful to those I  
cannot reach directly.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help  (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

Sunday 2200z (Sunday 3 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0000z (Sunday 5 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

    Stay well,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
