Greetings Diddlers:

I knew I should not have complained about conditions in last week’s message: winter arrived here in Northern California and I  got a good dose of rain static and lightning last week.  But that sure was not the case in the rest of the country, with  a full dozen stations reporting last Thursday.  A number of previous regulars who have taken some time off were back in the fray, including K4DXV, K0TI, N4EEV, and KB1RI.  Welcome back everyone and I hope we continue to see you over the winter.

The upcoming weekend looks to be an all cw weekend with the CQWW on tap.

Hope everyone has a great Turkey Day, and if you have a few minutes in between food and football please drop by and join us for a few Qs!
