Good Evening,
Another very fine week has passed. Weather has been good and today was very
nice. However, that will soon come to an end. Tomorrow we are due for a snow
shower which will last at least until Wednesday if not longer. That being said
the band was much nicer Friday than it had been earlier in the week. A solar
wind stream from a coronal hole hit the earth's ionosphere. During its travel
it snapped off the tail of Comet Lulin. The good news is: it will grow back
and the comet is now a naked eye object in Aries. For those of you with clear,
pre-dawn skies take a look near Zubenelgenubi and you'll find the blue-green
glow of cyanogen ions indicating the coma. Binoculars or a small telescope
will reveal both tails. The anti-tail of dust and the more common ion tail
which is pushed away by the solar wind.
Please join us tomorrow evening.
1) Hail signs (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 3 PM PST) 14050 kHz
Stay warm,
Kevin. KD5ONS
