Hello Folks,
Another fine day today. Well except for the mountain beaver deciding
our foundation was meant for hole digging. But we will deal with him.
Means I'll not be hanging any wire antennas but hacking down the last
year's growth of alder. But the back 'yard' needs a clearcut! The
bracken fern are getting wiped out by the rodent so I'll just complete the
job and take out his cover too.
I finally beat a bit of VHDL into submission but all of my software
training has not prepared me for creating circuitry via high level
languages. Small changes in the VHDL make major differences in the
digital circuitry. More education is necessary before I start crafting
CPUs on the fly! Fascinating stuff though. Maybe one day we will be able
to flash a new processor into our Elecraft rigs ;) Wayne does have a few
things up his sleeve but we do read the same trade journals :)
Tomorrow we will try the 20 meter net but not the 40 meter one. Forty
meters is quite noisy at our regular time so I'll wait until the sun
starts setting earlier before I reinstate it. The sun is already showing
signs of autumn but a few months will help the band get stronger. That
also means 20 meters will start getting worse. It's the nature of the
business.
Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz

Good luck in the remainder of the North American QSO Party! Sounds like
folks are having a great time.
