Good Evening,
Verizon has made my Internet access into an interesting exercise of moving
computers, phone lines, and Kevin around. I am working from home but on
another phone line, with another computer, and from another room. It seems the
fuse panel on one of their boards fried itself and took out all of the lines on
the board. They now have a trailer about seven miles from here which takes
care of some of the phone lines. I don't have my normal computer telephone
line yet. Maybe during the coming week they will get it up and running again.
It would be nice if they allowed 52 kB/S speeds but that would be asking too
much ;)
I have changed the times a little to conform to what we had a few weeks ago.
This keeps the nets at the same local times. I will eat dinner after the
second net is done. When the sun comes back a little more we may change the
second net later in the day. I am not sure yet how this will work out.
Propagation was alright this week but not stellar. I did have a couple
contacts on 20 and another on 40 meters which worked but not well enough to
chat long. The school term is almost over so I will have more time on my hands
after Tuesday. I may have to take up some other hobby to keep myself occupied
:) But, spring should be here soon so I can cut more wood, work on the house,
build a new greenhouse, build the deck out back, work on the roof, and
generally work around the property. That may keep me off the streets!
I am going to send this while the phone is still working. I will be on the
air tomorrow but may not be on the Internet. Who can tell?
Please join us tomorrow evening.
