[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[Bill Johnson]

I don't think sun spot cycle is here yet.  The observers haven't noted the tell-tale sign of the spots reversing polarization.  The cycles don't run a calendar from what I have learned and because this cycle is one of lowest in recorded history, possible we won't see the change from now until 2021.  Once the expected polarization happens then that should be the beginning.  But at least we have experienced a couple.

73,

Good Evening,

    I turned on the rig and found 20 meters filled with a roaring, windy sound.  Just a little QSB, on 40 meters it would be worse. The sun has thrown something at the earth.  Enough of it to cause impressive aurora.  One tiny sunspot can't be this strong; unless those of cycle 25 are special.  I say we need more of them so we can test this hypothesis.

    Weather reports were of a mild new year.  Even Oregon has had moments of sunshine.  If this keeps up I'll need to go hiking.  Or maybe it's time to work on antennas.  It is muddy enough.  If the rainy days continue I'll get some work done.  If not I'll be too busy working outside to get anything done :)


Until next week stay warm and stay well 73,

     Kevin.  KD5ONS
