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
