Good Evening,
Twenty meters was noisy but from what I can tell most of it was from
the storm right over me. Part of the roar I was hearing was the rain
falling on the roof but a lot of it was static. When the rain slowed so
did the static noise. QSB was deep. One second signals were S3 the
next they were S7 to S9. Forty meters was more quiet but fewer
signals. Maybe 0100z would be better for that band.
On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:
W0CZ - Ken - ND
NO8V - John - MI
K6XK - Roy - IA
K0DTJ - Brian - CA
KL7CW - Rick - AK
On 7047.5 kHz at 0000z:

We talked about home cooking, more yard work, spring weather, and
what we're doing to stay busy during confinement. Reading and writing
came up. I've been banging at the keyboard writing software and
detailed design documents for each application. It's getting to be a
habit. I also have been rereading text books for ideas on writing more
code. Differential equations are a good source as is the realm of
linear algebra. But applying abstract algebra is more difficult.
There are a lot more furry critters out and about. I saw my first
snake of the year recently too. A very fat garter snake. The ferns are
unrolling rapidly. Friday there were a few six inches tall. Today
those are three feet tall. Warmer soil has also awakened the moles out
aerating the grass.
Hopefully this week the sun will continue its run of small sunspots.
Until next week 73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
