Good Evening,
It was nice to hear you all tonight. Pete took time away from his guests to join us for a moment on 40 meters. Thank you! QSB was strong on 40 meters but there was a little of it on twenty as well. Starting earlier has its good and bad points. Propagation is better but I lose Tom on 40 because he has a standing dinner date with his wife. How can I blame him? She's a great lady!
Weather has been typically Oregonian; changes on the half hour. I got another two inches of snow in separate storms interspersed with bright, sunny skies. I am hoping the clear skies I have now will hold until it is fully dark. Then I'll get outside with a warm pair of Sorels and look at the two comets in the sky. Tonight Comet Tuttle is supposed to be directly in front of M33. Only a few degrees away Comet Holmes is still very visible. Two naked eye comets in the sky at once is a real treat.

Just got a phone call from one of our lost members: Carter, N3AO. First he had to move, then he decided to go into the hospital for a visit, only now does he get an antenna planted. One of these days he may get back on the net but he is having far too much fun contesting. 95 QSOs during the Stew Perry event is what I was told. Hi Kay!
Hopefully the above list has only a few errors (0?); if not send me the details and I will fix the database. Now to find my Sorels and my binoculars. If the sky is still clear I have some comets to find!
73 and Happy New Year to you all,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
