Please join us on 3775 kHz, 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday).

80M has been good at that time of the evening, with strong signals and 
little QRN from thunderstorms these days.

Your net control lives in Ann Arbor, MI. Today was mostly cloudy, and 
26F, with about 1/2" of snow on the ground.  We missed all the 
excitement on the west side of the state, and the folks in northern 
Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota, where the snowfall was measure 
in feet, not inches.

We are just about ready for the upcoming holidays.

I've also been busy moving everything from a 10+ year-old Windows 10 
laptop to a new Windows 11 laptop for my Photoshop activities 
(photography is one of my other hobbies).  Seems that Photoshop no 
longer will support a GPU that hasn't had a driver update in over 3 
years.  The NVidia 750M chipset in my old laptop had gone out of 
support, and there is no way to replace the GPU in that laptop.  In any 
event, Windows 10 will go out of support soon, and none of the computers 
I have, have a TPM 2.0 chipset, so they couldn't be upgraded to Windows 
11, either (yes, I know that there are ways to force an upgrade, but I 
really didn't want to get into all that mess).  So, the new laptop has 
an i9 chipset and RTX 3060 GPU, so hopefully, I'll get another ten years 
of use out of it, as well.

See you on 80M this evening and 73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
