Good Evening,
Twenty meters was noisy but open to the east. QSB was deep so
repetition was appreciated. Forty meters was also noisy but QSB was
deeper, cutting out whole words. It was fun digging out all of you. I
did have one problem. I thought I was copying noise. The signal was so
weak I was only getting one letter now and then. So close to the noise
I thought I was imagining it. But every time I replied with a ? or a
new CQ I would get the same response. Then on forty meters Brian
admitted he was trying to work me with 12 watts. On the second band he
was easy copy even with the deep QSB. Dave was in the noise too but his
call sign is very recognizable. It seems to flow over the QSB somehow.

I am glad the sun was active over the last two weeks. Conditions are a
little better. The solar forecast is for another full year before any
increase in sunspots. Good time to test your weak signal techniques and
buff your antennas.
Until next week 73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
