Good evening,
It has been a very pleasant week. Mornings of fog rain and then the
sun comes out for the rest of the day. Plants are growing like crazy.
The biting flies are not too bad but the breeze certainly helps. They
just can't find me to eat me.
I checked both 20 and 40 meters today. 40 had more signals but both
were noisy from summer storms. Sun spots are not to be seen while solar
flux is at 69 again. In one or two years things should improve.
While walking through the new ferns I freed one leg of a old
doublet. After I free the other end I plan to recycle the antenna by
moving it to a new tree. In a few weeks I'll be able to try A B testing
on two antennas. If I can get the ends up high I'll have a dipole
instead of an inverted V. Depends on me getting the line through all of
the intervening limbs. By using 14 ga THHN I can break quite a few of
them to make the wire straighter.
Please join us on:
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
