Greetings
Bill,
A perfect
day for a demonstration to newcomers in
amateur radio (if there had been
any) what QSB really means.
With a few exceptions, signals suddenly
appeared and then disappeared again just
as quickly.
Sometimes the signals improved again
later, but not always.
07:01z
EA7GSU, Pertti, now back from his seven
weeks, 11000 km, trip to OH-land. A
fairly steady 57 signal.
07:05z
GW4KVJ, John, 58 for a start. After that
it was a yo-yo trip, but John was able
to work EA5/G4HMG, John.
07:05z
EA5/G4HMG, John, started off with a 22
signal. At one point John reached a 56,
but then disappeared almost completely.
07:20z
G4YZE, Bill. 83 years on this day. A
fairly steady 59 here. Must have been a
special birthday gift from the sun.
Pertti
offered the traditional "Happy
birthday" song. Sounded good, although I
prefer Steve Wonder's version. Many
happy returns, Bill !
07:25z
PA0SDZ, Les. Good to hear Les again.
Sadly, the pleasure didn't last for very
long.
07:34z
EA5/G4MVV, Diana. I lost too much of the
transmission, but have high hopes that
we may, to use an old ham phrase,
see Diana soon again.
07:48z
Bill, G4YZE, closed the gate.

Hi Bill,
I learned on the 1800UTC net via W1QUO that
today is your birthday. So……Happy
Birthday! We hope you enjoyed your special
day.
Expect to eyeball Bob, WB7RQG this week
during his major swing through the U.S.
Midwest. Bob visited with Joe, WØTBC
last week
where his was entertained with a golf game,
etc. After visiting here in Dallas, Texas, Bob expects
to go through
Albuquerque,
NM and
visit Jack, KF5BD on his way back to his
home QTH. It is good to see Bob out and
about. This will be a great Rotary venture.
73 and Enjoy
John, W8AUV
