Good Evening,
Twenty meters was busy. The RTTY folks were on 14050 and above.
The WES folks were below 14050. I found a spot, and held it, from 2150z
onward. However, I only had one station find me. I did pick up a stray
from New York while waiting to start the net. Weather reports were
fairly normal for February. The Midwestern folks insisted on putting
either minus ahead of the number or below zero after it. I think they
both may be wearing hats and gloves this week.
QSB was moderate on both bands. 40 meters did change rapidly over a
few minutes. As the solar cycle picks up I think this change will be
less sharp. I need to check the MUF, it might be close to 7 MHz. Noise
was low on each band.
On 14049.0 kHz at 2200z:
WA2JSB - Robert - NY
K6XK - Roy - IA
On 7047.5 kHz at 0000z:
W0CZ - Ken - ND
K0DTJ - Brian - CA
WM5F - Dwight - ID
K6XK - Roy - IA
K6PJV - Dale - CA
I plan to spend some time being snowed in. With all the snow it is
pretty quiet and the traffic has been cut to one vehicle a day. Even
the aircraft beacon at the top of mountain is not well used. But ears
adjust. As there is less noise they find the level below. I don't
think I have ever been in a truly sound free environment; even in a cave
there was the dripping. Mr. Bell studied this logarithmic response and
has his name misspelled as its unit. Volt(a), Ampere, ohm, Oersted,
Henry, but bel?
Until next week enjoy your version of winter.
73, Kevin. KD5ONS
