Hello,
As I went to bed last night I realized I had not sent my announcement. So,
after doing chores this morning I am getting it written and sent off.
Rereading last week's announcement I found I had gone four days with no snow
falling. Well, I can no longer say that. As of Friday afternoon the snow
started to fall and the temperature dropped. Luckily it was only a light
snowfall of about 2 inches. However, the temperature dropped into the
twenties. I think I will lose all of my flowers before they get a chance to
bloom. The two which opened last week may be the only ones I see this year.
I have spent a fair amount of time on the air this week. I worked Mark,
NK8Q, on the Appalachian Trail on 30 meters yesterday but could not find Ron,
WB3AAL on 80. Someone commented on how dead 80 meters was in the Pacific
Northwest on another list so a few of us checked. I found it wall to wall
signals at one point but we have been keeping it busy when the activity drops.
This week I have worked stations on 17, 20, 30, 40, and 80 meters while
attempting contacts on 6, 10, 12, and 15 meters. I only listened on 160 meters
because my antenna is too short to tune. Another summer project for Kevin :)
Please join us this evening.
