Good morning,

I am hearing the beacon 25 dB above my noise floor this morning.  I haven’t heard it in a couple of days.  I suppose all of the t-storm activity had the propagation factors all broken up.

I heard JA1NUT pounding through on the lower end of 40 CW this morning.  Shin is an old friend.  I met him in 1984 when Marian and I visited Japan.  I tried calling with my 100w and “sort of” G5RV, but he didn’t respond.  That is even more motivation to get my tower back up and the 40M Moxon arrays on it.

73,

Dave, K4TO
