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
