Good Evening,
Neither net had what I would call great conditions but we managed to
dig out a fair number of you. I know there were others below my ability
to copy but there is always next week. I am amazed we got Florida again.
OW does seem to help cut through the QRN and QSB though. Some letter
combinations are simply better than others.
Jay, KT5E, had the loudest signal of anyone. I could not believe,
after straining to hear Tom's reply on 40 meters, Jay sent his call; my
ear drums must have touched! There were a couple new folks to add to the
list too. Tom and Jamie were working over my head in more than one
sense. Missouri to Hawaii and at a pretty good rate of speed. Looks like
Jamie spends quite a bit of time behind his paddles; much like Tom.

If I could not drag you out it was not for want of trying. I listened to
what I thought was CW more than once only to find it was some rhythmic QRN
:) Quite a shock to go from that mode to the nerve jangling copy of
KT5E. The last couple of weeks I looked out the window to see if he was
parked in front of my house! Normally my sidetone is the loudest thing I
hear. Tonight that was not the case.
I hope you all have a good week this week and the weather does not get
too bad in your area. I know Tom mentioned snow in his area and Scott
mentioned a little there. I did not copy what Ken sent to Tom but did
copy a BRRR in exchange. Must be chilly tonight in Fargo! I almost miss
that weather ;) Jay mentioned drifting snow which got me thinking about
XC skiing. I do miss that.
Stay well,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
