Good Evening,
After a hectic week it is time to announce the next session of the CW
net. Soon after the last net was completed I made and ate dinner.
Luckily for me the power did not go out until I was done eating. I had
lost my telephone a few days earlier so I could not call in the outage
when it started. I was hoping the break was far below me so others were
effected. Just yesterday the phone company finally got up here to fix the
problem. Good thing the power outage only lasted two days. I received 15
inches of snow but it was dry so there was little problem moving it.
However, my Ranger is two wheel drive so I could not get it out to the
road let alone into town. I started up the 4WD truck and got into town.
Mostly to see folks walking around and to get mail. I was able to talk to
the phone repair folks directly since they were sitting in their trucks in
the grocery store's parking lot.
Next came the melt which made travel on Thanksgiving day impossible.
Driving down a 10 percent grade on wet ice is mildly exciting with a small
vehicle. With my F250 it gets very exciting :) It's even more fun going
uphill in that rig and having it break loose. Skidding on ice downhill
backwards is always good when your heart needs a little adrenalin pump. I
was able to get on the air once or twice during the week finding the snow
covered limbs shorting my antenna did not make a lot of difference.
Yesterday the snow melted in the rain clearing off the trees but the snow
started again today around noon and the fir trees were loading again as
the sun set. Hopefully the antenna will still be up tomorrow afternoon
and the wet trees won't effect the SWR too much. We shall see.
Please join us tomorrow afternoon and 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
Monday 0100z (Sunday 5 PM PST) 7045 kHz
Stay well,
Kevin. KD5ONS
