Good Evening,
This report is a day late but extenuating circumstances intervened.
However, conditions were good yesterday; especially on forty meters where I was
able to work many locations. Thank you for the continuing efforts of Steve to
make contact from Georgia. It has been a long time since we have heard him. I
know he has been monitoring from his many emails but conditions did not allow
us contact. Forty meters elicited four new operators to ECN. That is always
fun. Only one of the contacts was hampered by weak signals and high QRN. When
KW6AR is able to work the net again I hope to get all his information.
Where yesterday had some warm temperatures today it was chilly. Even though
the sun was shining for the first few hours of my day it was cold enough to
force me to build a fire. Luckily there is plenty of wood nearby even though I
have not collected very much of the wood I have split this year. It is burning
nicely while the rain falls. It is supposed to rain for the next week if the
weatherman is correct. I did get a report of chilly, cloudy skies from Rick.
He always sends his weather down here with the very rare exception of a bit
from Hawaii or California. My road has become quite busy. Even after bedtime
the trucks were driving by shining for deer. If they are wise they will aim
their hooves toward to reprod and bed down. There is plenty to eat, water
nearby, and a good place to sleep peacefully.

Hopefully the information listed above is OK. If it is not please email me
with the corrections. Now to get back to my regular schedule instead of
letting these reports sit for a day. That is never good! My memory loses the
feel for what happened and the conditions on each net. I do remember after the
second net enjoying the last of the daylight and the quiet of the trees. Forty
meters has a lot of QRN and it kept building over the time period. By the end
it was tough to work the weaker stations. I may have missed one under the
noise but I cannot tell.
Until next week stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
