Good Evening,
    Since last weekend there has not been a day over 53 degrees.  Next 
week even those warm temperatures will be gone.  Night time temperatures 
are just barely in the 40s.  Rain and heavy fog almost every single day 
keeps the sun from warming anything.  We went from a very cool and wet 
spring to a few weeks of dry weather and then instantly into winter.  
Skipping seasons is not unusual here but skipping two of them in one 
year is very odd.  Well a few weeks break in the heating season was 
something :)

    Propagation has been very good.  Reports I've read and time on the 
air just listening show me bands from ten down to forty meters are 
open.  Forty meters is as low as this excuse for an antenna will go 
since it is just a run of coax to a balun draped in a tree where it 
fell.  But it does allow me to listen around a bit while working on 
these computers.  Ten and fifteen meters have been bringing in some 
exotic call signs.  It is fun.  Listening to the high speed code on W1AW 
is also a fun test.

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 0100z (Sunday 6 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

       Stay well,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS
