Please join us on 3784 kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY), 9PM ET Sunday
(0200Z Monday).
80M has been good at that time of the evening, with strong signals and
little QRN from thunderstorms these days.
Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE, although I've had
intermittent antenna issues at high power the last couple of weeks.
This seems to be an 80M only issue, for some reason. If I continue to
have issues this evening, please listen for Eric, WB9JNZ, who did a
stellar job a few weeks ago of taking over as NCS after my hi-power
station went down.
We are on day 4 of being on generator power, since SE Michigan received
about .7 inches of ice this past Wednesday evening. By 7pm local time
(EST) we saw several bright flashes in the block across from us,
followed by several 'booms' and then "lights out". :-(. There are a lot
of old trees in this neighborhood, and a number of them came down, or at
least large pieces of them.
We had removed two large trees in our yard this past summer, to avoid
this scenario on our property. One of the trees was splitting down the
middle, and the other was threatening our garage. It is now Sunday
afternoon, and we noticed a half-dozen bucket trucks roll in to the
subdivision this morning, so (fingers crossed) maybe we'll be back on
commercial power by this evening's net.
Hope to see you this evening on the net.
73,
-- Dave, N8SBE
