@Gyprat the wire from the whip to the fishing pole is 21'6". I am happy with how it works.

Tomorrow's net could be interesting: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/solar-storm-predicted-by-nasa-what-damage-could-the-flare-cause/ar-AAZHW2j
A solar storm will hit Earth early this Tuesday, July 19, 2022. The warning comes from a NASA forecast model applied by the scientist Tamitha Skov, who has described this flare phenomenon as a filament in the shape of a snake coming from the Sun. (article continues at link) |

We are under a severe thunderstorm warning right now. I'll keep an eye for the lightning conditions but may not be able to do the 20m part at 7:30. 40m is still questionable but I'll keep you guys posted. I don't operate when there is a chance for lightning in this area. The Yagi antenna is well above the top of the trees.

I was hoping the storm would pass north of us but it looks like a big chunk of the storm is heading this way. It's predicted to get here in about 20 minutes. I just heard thunder.
Guys, you'll just have to do this without me. I'll let you know if this changes. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cjk: Great job net control! Hope Gyprat survives the storms without drama. They sure made it look like a major hurricane. My weather radio kept beeping with warnings but we only got a tiny bit of rain. No wind. No major lightning. The worst of the storm was about 15 miles north of my QTH. I probably could have done the net but it's better to be safe than sorry. My rule is: Disconnect everything and leave the shack if I hear thunder. Glad you guys had a good net. I want to thank the volunteer NCs. Guys, please keep TheOtherDave in your thoughts and prayers. He has lost his house due to fire. |

Andre is at best 33 here in Maine. It doesn't even sound like him, sounds off-freq. Not really hearing checkins either. Noise level here is very low compared to at home.

Noise level here is very low compared to at home. Yeah, I can hear stuff sort of going on, but can't pick anything out except the few stations I mentioned before. It's funny, because earlier this evening I had QSOs with Morocco and Lithuania on 20M. |

Someone said we were interfering with their net on 7.279. They must be running crappy receivers since our freq was far enough from them. I need to find another freq. Standby.
