You stole the words right out of my mouth, Dave.  This guy must have been
collecting radio stuff since the war!  Look at all the marvelous pieces.  I was
surprised to see only a few antennas, at least only the aluminum ones.  Who
knows how much wire is strung amongst those trees and towers.

How many radios can one guy work at a time, though?

Brad,

After using Wave for a week or so I conclude the same as you. This mousetrap
is not for the average user yet. I have not got my batch of invites yet but
plan to offer them up to club members first that want to give it a shot. I
do have a Feld Hellclub account established and the contact name is
fhctechmanager@... . There have been 3 members that are already added
as contacts in this Wave client but I do not plan to release it with the
login and password for general membership use just yet. If and as the board
members get accounts, maybe we can schedule a meeting via the wave to
experiment.

Michael, I have several invites we can use for the club...Google Wave being
a stateful instant messanger with plug-in capability makes this a no-brainer
for club-related business.

That said, until we get a FH or APRS module for Wave maybe we should keep
this in skunkworks status...off-list.

Anyways, if anyone needs an invite I have some. Drop me message or tweet me
(@wf7t) and I will forward.

Well the 60MPH winds last night finally got me. I lost my last telephone
pole and it took the loop with it. I will be running my Gap Titan DX until I
can work something out. The GAP does a good job but it is not the same. I
will need some relay help on CW and FeldHell.

Great to see so many new members on today.  Even if I didn't win I picked up 12
new members which brings me to 400 FPF.  Managed to get three countries along
the Orient Express Route - England, Italy, and France.  We'll see if that
enough.

Don't for get to submit your scores on the autologger:
http://www.emailmeform.com/fid.php?formid=486171

Conditions were pretty rough for the sprint here.

40m was a write-off for me due to a high noise level and I have never
seen such extreme QSB on 20m. S9 signals and 5 seconds later nothing !

I got started late and had to leave for my daughter's school Holiday Craft Fair
so I
only got about 30 minutes of operating in.

I only worked N4QLB and KD4AMP (thanks guys).  Next time I think I need to run
a little more power than the 15 watts I was running today from my Argonaut V.

BTW anyone out there using one of the old Kenwoods Hybrid rigs (i.e TS-520/820
etc)
to run Hellschreiber ? I picked up a very nice TS-820S in a trade and have used
it on
CW, but I figure it should be fine on Hell as well. The rig seems pretty stable
and doesn't
drift so it should be ok. I am having a lot of fun with it as I dreamed about
buying one
of these new back in the 1980's but didn't have the $$$ then.

Posted Friday November 20, 2009 at http://www.wcflunatall.com/nz4o4.htm

Yesterday evening another new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE
quadrant of the Sun in between sunspot group #11032 and #11033. If numbered
by NOAA/SWPC it will be #11034 and SIDC Belgium Catania #32.

The NOAA/SWPC sunspot number is 30 (tied for the highest so far for solar
cycle 24) and the SIDC Belgium sunspot number is 26. The solar flux index
(SFI) is 78.0.

The new sunspot groups could push the SFI above 80 in coming days. This
would raise the maximum usable frequency (MUF) of the F layer high enough to
improve propagation conditions on 20, 17 and 15 meters.

Solar cycle 24 continues to ramp up this month. As Paul McCartney once sang,
"Coming up".

The cycle 24 sunspot group that I mentioned on November 18, 2009  has been
numbered 11033 by the NOAA/SWPC. It is located near N17E20 and contains a
beta magnetic signature capable of producing very small B class solar
flares. As mentioned yesterday SIDC Belgium assigned it Catania #28.

The old solar cycle 24 sunspot group #11029 has produced new sunspots and
has been re-numbered 11033 by NOAA/SWPC. SIDC Belgium has given the sunspot
group Catania 30. It is located near N21E47 and contains a beta magnetic
signature capable of producing very small B class solar flares.

The NOAA/SWPC sunspot number is 29 (the second highest so far for solar
cycle 24) and the SIDC Belgium sunspot number is 30. The solar flux index
(SFI) is 77.4.

The new sunspot groups could push the SFI above 80 in coming days. This
would raise the maximum usable frequency (MUF) of the F layer high enough to
improve propagation conditions on 20, 17 and 15 meters.

Solar cycle 24 continues to ramp up this month!

Yesterday evening a new solar cycle 24 sunspot group emerged in the NE
quadrant of the Sun near N19E68. SIDC Belgium assigned it Catania #28. If
numbered by NOAA/SWPC it will be 11032.

The sunspot group currently contains a beta magnetic signature capable of
producing very small B class solar flares. On November 17, 2009  at 1259 UTC
the sunspot group produced a very small B1.5 solar flare.

Under the very old method of counting sunspots SIDC Belgium gave the sunspot
group a number of 11. But in reality only one simple sunspot actually
emerged.
