Good Evening,

    Conditions were a bit better on forty meters than they were on 
twenty.  QSB was faster there but signals were stronger.  Even though 
the sun is still blank forty meters bounced east of the Mississippi.  
Weak and warbly, but copy was 50% or better.  There was more band 
noise.  I didn't hear thunderstorms but it did sound like wind.  There 
were ghost signals where I could not copy a letter, to QRM who could not 
hear any of us.  However, propagation is only part of what we do.  I get 
to hear about antenna projects, gardening, birding, yard work, house 
work, painting, weeding, dog walking, and many other fascinating 
topics.  It is rarely the same from week to week.  It reminds me of 
going to the old country store with the pot belly stove.  Folks would 
gather around it and tell stories about this and that.  Something I have 
not heard on ECN is one about calf pulling.  Just hasn't come up I guess.
