Good Evening,
Another chilly, wet week. Spring progresses slowly up here. The rain has made it very green. Moss really does grow on the north sides of trees in Oregon. It grows on most of the rest of the tree too. But circular objects only have two sides: in and out. Propagation remains weak. The sun tossed a CME, it missed. Bands should be fairly quiet, which can help. Maybe QSB will be helpful and pull you up for a moment. If you wish to exercise your gray cells to examine other circular systems: https://www.quantamagazine.org/solve-math-equations-that-are-stubborn-as-a-goat-20210506/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/after-centuries-a-seemingly-simple-math-problem-gets-an-exact-solution-20201209/ Or if you wonder about cats: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/05/what-cats-love-of-boxes-and-squares-can-tell-us-about-their-visual-perception/ How did they keep the goat from gnawing through the rope? Please join us on (or near): 14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday) 7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday) 73, Kevin.

John - surprisingly, I’m glad to hear that! I just moved into a third floor apartment and have been struggling to get a stealth antenna put up so I can check into the nets. Today I cobbled together my new Buddistick vertical on the balcony railing, got the battery charged up in my IC-705 and tuned to 14.050 to hear……nothing. Thought maybe it was conditions or just my crappy antenna situation. Now, maybe not!
I’ll give the 40 meter net a try if we’re here at the right time, although my single radial wire is really short for 40 meters. 73, Jim / K7YXA Eagle, ID > On May 9, 2021, at 4:24 PM, John Seboldt <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Nothing in WI near 14050 from 2200-2220.
