Still on 20m. Have been in and out of the shack for the last 30-45 min or so. Talked to seek2 a couple times with good copy on both ends, but have not heard anyone else. Props kinda strange tonight.

CW QSO right on top of us from out of nowhere! DOH!!
I can hear the start up tones and copy just about 5-10% after that. I don't think this is going to work on 40m either. |

Wow, I never heard that at all. Or much of anything for that matter.
Let me check 80m for a few min. brb. |

I've got S8 noise w/ static crashed to S9+20, but I can't hear anything over the top of that on 3.597. Want to try there? maybe olivia can sort it out...

woohoo, finally!
I've got BD +6DB, haven't heard you yet seek. I'm surprised 80 is making it that far. |

I've got some RF in shack issues on 80M I'm trying to hammer down... not sure I'm going
to make it on 80M tonight! |

No worries. BD is on his NVIS antenna –– we don't think it'll bounce that far.
Given any thought to a net this weekend? |

I'm still game for the weekend net. I'm probably not going to my BOL on account of the insane
heat here unless it breaks (BOL trailer temp cracked 102F today, and my solar power system can only run the AC for a couple hours before shutting down the 5KW load.) I didn't catch the switch to Olivia 8/500, but figured out the mode and just copied Homeslice's SK SK SK. Given temps, contest, etc, I'd be inclined to aim for later in the day Saturday or Sunday for a quick WX net. Maybe just QNI, everyone responds with CALL/QRU/Temperature? Really don't want to blast the FD stations too much. |

Well, at least someone is hearing the warm-up messages for the net this week!

Pretty impressive –– I just checked the sunspot number, I think it's the lowest ever since we started the net!

Anyone know of someone that can repair an IC-7000 control panel? |

Wow, propagation sure is interesting... It's like someone is flipping an on/off switch while you're
TX'ing, BigDaddy. |
