Good Evening,

     For some odd reason I had the high temperature of the day at 87 
degrees.  The bands were still weak but the noise was less than last 
week.  I know I do not have the most biting flies but I may be in the 
top three.


   On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

NO8V - John - MI

AB9V - Mike - IN

K4TO - Dave - KY


   On 7045 kHz at 0000z:

K6PJV - Dale - CA

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

AE6JV - Bill - CA


During these lulls in the sunspot cycle having a quiet spot is the only 
thing you can hope for.  Occasionally a strong signal pops up but the 
QSB keeps comments shorter.  A few more years and the sun should be more 
responsive to our needs.  Until then I'll keep practicing with my left 
hand.  It is growing stronger and learning the alphabet.  I had truly 
forgotten the code so each time I send with my left hand I have to 
remember how to send each character.  It is odd, I have to hear the code 
in my head to see each letter before I can send them.  Muscle memory 
seems to be there but muffled somehow.  Instead of thinking in full 
sentences I am limited to sending a word at a time.  Very strange feeling.

    73,

       Kevin.  KD5ONS
