Good evening,
I hope you are all enjoying the sound of CW filling the bands. Due to their
heavy useage I'll not be holding the nets tomorrow. Two times a year the bands
are too busy for ECN to fit in: Field Day and Sweepstakes. I will be busy in
the back yard splitting all the wood I bucked over the last few days. I may
get a chance to burn the slash if the fire marshall gives the OK. It will take
years to cut all the wood that fell last December. Some of the trees are over
a hundred feet long (they are lying down you know) and greater than 30 inches
in diameter. I will be warm for quite some time.
Weather has been fantastic the last week; dry and mostly sunny. I finally
got a telescopic view of Comet Holmes. It is the oddest comet I have ever
seen. I did find out why there is no tail. It is a matter of perspective.
The tail points away from the sun. That direction happens to be directly
behind the large coma. It is quite easy to spot as it is very bright (3rd
magnitude) and big.
The bands are quite happy now. I've been listening while I work and have
heard quite a few contesters working on 20, 40, and 80. Nothing heard on 15
but I did hear non-contesters on 17 and 30. Lots of CW to copy today and
tomorrow. Hope you are all having fun on your chosen band. I'll be back with
ECN next week when the bands are less packed.
Until then stay well,
Kevin.
