Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    There was little noise on either band.  QSB was mild, except for
those east of the Rockies on 40 meters.  There was a flutter on all of
you.  Mostly it was reports of a chilly drizzle.  Wind too.  Cold wind. 
Snow is in my forecast, sometimes I look forward to it.

    I created some antenna radiation patterns as 3D objects last night. 
They are running on my 3D engine.  Its simple hidden face algorithm is
very confused with the toroidal pattern of a loop antenna.  Sometimes
the mistakes make the most interesting displays.  Once I tame them down
I will add a UI to control a few of the parameters.  Height above ground
changes the patterns, sometime drastically.  I had forgotten how much
fun it was to write these models.  This morning I wrote a new Bessel
function solver for the loop antenna.  Machines are much faster than
when I first wrote this code.  I can step more finely for a smoother
image.  I need to write a better hidden surface routine.

    Signals were loud today.  Solar flux was up but I'm not sure what
happened to that solar breeze.  I did not hear it at all.


         73,
