Good Evening,
Neither band was very happy tonight. The first net gathered three check ins
from Indiana, Oregon, and Minnesota. The second net got two from Florida and
California. Forty meters had some ESP stations but I never got more than a
couple letters and then they would change the next time I tried. I did hear
some tuners so there was some activity but not on ECN.
On to the lists =>
On 14050 kHz at 0000z:
AB9V - Mike - IN - K3 - 398
NS7P - Phil - OR - K3 - 1826
N0AR - Scott - MN - K2 - 4866
On 7045 kHz at 0300z:
W6ZH - Pete - CA - K3 - 657 * QNI #150 *
W3TMZ - Jack - FL - K3 - 1169 QNI #20!!
Hopefully the future will be brighter. But, the weather has turned out OK.
It is cold, there is snow on the ground, but the water is still running, the
power is still on, and the high winds forecast have disappeared. So, all in
all, it is OK. I am glad I brought in all that extra wood in preparation for
this storm. It is warm in here and there is plenty of dry wood to keep it that
way. The 4WD folks are enjoying the winter wonderland driving by on the hour.
Now that all the logging gates are open for hunting they get to go way back in
the woods to try and get stuck. They also provide me with a path out to the
main road since it will not get plowed for a week or two.
Next week I expect the bands to be better; they cannot go far in the other
direction! Supposedly there is activity on the far side of the sun. It may
rotate into view during the week so we can gain some ionic input to the
Heaviside layer. Speaking of Oliver I was looking at the original Maxwell
equations and find he and a friend simplified the system. Yes, they do predict
what we have come to enjoy but they also eliminated one quantity: magnetic
potential. I wonder what else the "Maxwell" equations could tell us if that
simplification had not glossed over magnetic potential. Are there some other
interesting gadgets in those quaternion systems?
Until next week stay warm and stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
