Greg and all
Maybe more open bands will help spread out the QRM during SS this =
weekend.
Or maybe they'll all go long too early???
These good conditions are "right on" with the predictions based on the =
27-day=20
solar rotation cycle. Also note that 27 days from now is *AFTER* CQWW =
CW!
Murphy found my shack last night -- the Super CMOS II (kit version of =
Logikey) that has=20
served me well for 12 years quit working. May be just the uP clock =
resonator failed, but if=20
not, it's dead. I may be shopping for a keyer at the hamfest tomorrow =
morning!
I also made careful power output measurements in preparation for my QRP =
SSCW
effort -- discovered I was only running about 3-1/2 watts last year -- =
AARRGGHH !!!
CU in SS (with a full QRP gallon this time)
