FWIW: I heard nothing on 20. Unfortunately, I only had about 15 mins
and couldn't wait for a QSP opportunity, but zip on or near 14050.
There's always next week.

Good Evening Folks,
The bands were a bit stingy this evening but that is how it goes
sometimes. Unlike last week or the week before I did not hear Europe
before the first net. My DX for the evening is Georgia :) That's OK,
we had a good time.
The weather here is warm but not like the reports I got from out
East. There was more than one triple digit temperature report.
Yesterday I spent walking around in the sun in mid 80 temperatures but
we had a wind with low (40%) humidity levels. That made it
comfortable. I spent the day drinking from my two liter bottles. The
medical tents we visited refilled them as did our ARES tent
supervisor. I've no idea how much water I consumed but it seemed to be
enough because today I do not feel dehydrated; just stiff from walking
and standing for so long.
Tomorrow it is back to work for most of us. I'll be in downtown
Portland where it gets much warmer than it does here. But, compared to
you all, I feel lucky. With the mild temperatures and medium humidity
summer is not so bad in Western Oregon. The reports from AB, OK, IN,
and GA were not as nice. Only Rick in Palmer, Alaska had us all beat.
Sounds very comfortable up there. However, I expect he has far more
biting insects than me ;) That is one thing I do not miss from the
Midwest. You can sit on your porch here and not be eaten alive.

I think I have the above information correct but if not please email
me. Thank you once again for your support. We will make it through
the solar minimum and back to better propagation. It will not be long
until the bands are filled again.
I was promoting amateur radio while at the air show yesterday. It
was surprising how many amateurs were listening to our health and
welfare net while they were working in their booths making a little
money. While my partner and I were scanning the crowd looking for
children who looked lost a couple vendors walked up and introduced
themselves. First by callsign and then by name. Not one of them broke
our nets but they were monitoring our progress. The first lost child
was around 1 PM. We had both parents to him in less than five
minutes. The police and fire officials appreciated our eyes, ears, and
comm skills very much. It makes my tired feet feel a bit better just
knowing I could help.
Until next week stay cool if you can,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
