Elecraft CW Net Announcement

kevinr@coho.net
Good Evening,

    “What’s that?!”, my visual cortex rapidly scanned its card catalog
seeking a best fit solution.  Another part of my brain was trying to
decide flight or fight while further processing power was devoted to
wondering why there was a bush where none had been before.  Then the
bush’s tail flicked and a black tailed deer resolved the confusion.  In
her winter coloration she was popping in and out of focus with the
background.  Since I had made no sound she kept munching the leaves of
the low lying bramble.   Brambles are a nasty vine covered with fine
spines which always trip me if I am not walking like there is a foot of
snow on the ground.   If you aren’t wearing leather gloves those spines
sink into your skin and irritate for a week.   She was efficiently
nipping the leaves off from along its length without noticing them.  I
would not have put my snout nearly as close to the spiny stem.  She ate
only a few feet from me for about fifteen minutes while I sat at my
computer reading the morning news.

    The sun is active.  There are a few rapidly growing spots and the
solar flux has risen to 78.   There may be propagation available for us
to use.   Woo hoo! It has been a while.  Now to test this hypothesis.

Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
   7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
