Good Evening,
The fan is still blowing on my K2/100 and Chamberlain has just signed the
Munich agreement. Momentous things are afoot. But I will attempt to stay in
2008 instead of 1938 for the moment! Conditions were very, very good on 40
meters just now. Tom and I worked many stations and I could hear almost all of
each exchange. The worst for me were WA7BOC and N7CQR both of them had auroral
warble to them. That would mean I am working neither of them via groundwave.
Thus MUF must be higher than 7 MHz and the ionosphere is getting whacked by the
sun.
I had some very good weather reports except for Ken's from Fargo, North
Dakota. He mentioned wet, heavy snow much like I had last week. I did get a
few folks talking about 65 degree temperatures. Someday that may occur here!
I hope. I got a note from Ron, WB3AAL, between the nets while I was cooking my
dinner. He said he was working QRP ARCI when he saw the time. He cranked his
power way up to 5 watts, worked ECN, and then went back to contesting again.
Thanks Ron!

Ah, the Germans are now preparing for Operation Barbarossa but the weather
is not conducive to tank warfare. By the way I am listening to the Teaching
Company's tapes of Western History from 1780 - 1990. That is why things are
moving so rapidly. But I will get back to 2008 now. We had good nets today.
Hopefully the time change helped. I know Sam and I were very happy with an
early dinner. It is better than getting a headache while waiting to eat. The
band conditions were very good today. Good grief they are already at the gates
of Kiev! I hope the bands will remain this good for the future. I enjoyed the
way I could hear everyone. Ray in North Carolina was easy copy. But for some
reason I was not able to hear K4JPN. Steve wrote me a note saying he could
neither hear us on 20 or 40 meters. Very odd because I did work Alabama on 40
with easy copy. Never can tell about propagation. Now to get my chores done
before the coming week. If there are any errors or fills necessary in the
above lists please send them to me. I'll get the database fixed when I can.
Thanks for the enjoyable nets,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Station 5th Class)
