Good Evening,
The net ran as usual this evening. Contacts from Nova Scotia to Texas
to Virginia to Colorado. QSB reports from all sectors but the noise level
was down so contacts were fairly good. Jim and Dick were giving other
rigs a chance to breath tonight. Dick's 70 watts seemed pretty weak
though. I think the band was much longer than normal. Now that the sun
is going down earlier we may need to reassess whether 40 meters will work
for us soon. I heard something about Daylight Savings Time changing late
this year but have not had this confirmed. Do any of you know about this?
At 2257z on 14050 kHz:

WU5X - Jim - AR - using his IC rig to learn how good his K2 really is!

Thanks folks. I was tired from chores but it appears the cramping to my
hands has gone away. Guess that means I may be getting back into shape
;) The deck is getting closer to covered, the framing is going well, and
lastly -- the wood pile has another cord on it with more stacked in the
forest. We will be warm this winter! Feels good to be getting outside
and changing our environment. Now to drag a radio out and work QRP for a
while.
I need to do a bit of antenna work but the other chores are taking
precedence. When they get completed I will use my dacron rope to get all
of my antennas higher and more permanently affixed to the fir trees. The
long awaited loop will get up there too, I promise. Just have to get all
these other things done first. I still want to see if we can try 80
meters.
As ever if there are any errors in the above list I will fix the database
and post the errata.
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
