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
