Good Evening,
Twenty meters was not conducive to radiotelegraphy today. Total of three
check ins. However, one of them was from Curacao. He reported a temperature
in the 90s. But, then on twenty meters I had three folks tell me of the HOT
temperatures in the Southwest. One of them was in Carlsbad but the conditions
were so poor on Dale's signal I was unsure of which Carlsbad. I've only been
to the one in New Mexico; hence the Southwestern appellation. Otherwise John
and Pete both had 90 degree temperatures in California.
Friday it felt that hot here but it was only 72 degrees. My first day
without a fire in a very long time. Today the temperature went back to normal
and the rains returned. Tomorrow there will be more snow to contend with but I
am not going anywhere. Two daffodils are open; poor things. I told them not
to hurry but they think spring should be here. Hopefully they won't freeze too
badly over the next two days. By Wednesday the temperature will be in the 50s
so they only have two nights of freezing weather to endure. Most of the other
buds are a week or more away.

After reworking the spreadsheet I think I have everything back in order. I
had to extend to a new sheet and if you have examined the document available
for download from ecn.visionseer.com you'll see why. Now it will last for
another three years. Hopefully we will all be here when I have to re-extend
the sheet! If there are any errors or propagation reports from those I missed
please write me. For all of you who are spending their last few minutes before
April 15th looking for another deduction: good luck to you!!
Until next week stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
