Good Evening, It was a nice, sunny week here on the mountain. There is still snow but the sun helps. I have received a couple reports concerning 40 meters near net time but they are not promising. The time change next week may help so please keep sending reception reports to me. I will reinstate the 40 meter net soon though because my fingers are getting itchy! Even if it is just me and hopefully one other that is OK. I can always read while I am sending my CQ ECN. Hopefully your dawn skies are clear because Comet Lulin is near its closest approach to earth. It is in the morning sky in Virgo. Here is a sky map URL for you: <http://www.spaceweather.com/images2009/20feb09/skymap_north_lulin.gif?PHPSESSID=cpobuv33pg4c33t242fdfd6r57> Binoculars show it clearly if your skies are transparent and dark. If your eyes are good and the skies are too you will not need optical aid.
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.
