[MRCG] RTTY net

[Falls, Jim@DOC]

Maybe we're due for a big quake: ionospheric disturbances were noted before a big quake in Taiwan several years ago. Trulio!

Actually, it's the fumes from Humboldt County's ganja crop drifting ozone-like into the upper atmosphere. The EM waves get stoned and don't know where they're pointed any more.

Is the weird weather in California affecting paths?

I'm located about 55 miles north of San Francisco and my experience
(SSB, CW) is that we'd have a more reliable path between NoCal
and SoCal on 40. Admittedly don't spend much time on 80 anymore.
Although the noise level the past few weeks has made 40 dicey too.
Wherever you guys want to meet, I'll give it a shot.
