An announcement for the Net. I'd like to remind you all that the. The Wildflower bike ride sponsored by Chico Velo is coming up. Let me see. I think that's April 26th and I'm looking for volunteers. And I'll tell you what, I've already had about 212 folks from last year volunteered to cover their positions this year. Really appreciate it. So I'll be sending out the notice later this week soliciting volunteers from folks who have not volunteered last year. And we still have quite a few positions to fill both at rest stops and at funky turns on the course and at and driving SAG as well. So anyway, that's it for me. Look for that mail kn6tww back to control. Right, Jamie, thank you. K6K's next and I don't have anything to say besides my voice made up last night. Ko6ncx. Larry. Good evening, Lester and the rest of the Net. This is Larry. KF6NCX. Well, a couple of things. Last weekend was the ARRL International DX contest. A great contest because all the foreign countries that are participating, all those hams and other countries can only work Americans and Canadians. So they're all looking for us. Jevin came up and, and we operated, took turns operating with one radio and propagation seemed really good. And we put in about. We put in almost 28 hours and made 720 QSOs. So we. I think that's probably our best score to date in that event. We had a good time. It was a lot of fun. Lots of. In the afternoon, Saturday afternoon, the Japanese stations were. Were coming in on 15 and 10 meters and they Just kept coming and even into the night and 20 stayed open and it was really good. But I don't know about the future now. Maybe Bill KC6UFE will have some thoughts on this. But I subscribe to this thing called space weather. I get an email, maybe not every day, but often. And today it came and it said that we've had the first spotless sun days since 2022. For the last four years it said there's been non stop sunspot activity, but suddenly the sun has no spots. And what this said, what this message said was this is a sign that the solar minimum, although it's still a distant phenomenon, it's this indicates that it's starting to approach even though it's far away. So that's not so encouraging. Okay, Lester, back to you. This is Larry, KF6NCX. All right, Larry. And just as a side note on no sunspot in the past when there's been very, very little or almost none. I just been pretty bad weather struck the across the world. All right, Bill, you're up next. KC6 UFC. KC6UFE. Yes, indeed. No sunspots right now, but not to worry, you know, the leopard can't change its spot so they'll be back in short order. They're probably all hanging out on the other side. So yeah, we're slowly creeping up on the solar minimum, but not quite here yet. And Thursday night, around 11:30, maybe a few minutes before to a few minutes after, the cargo container is going to come off the space shuttle and run right down the west coast and it's going to drop into the ocean down by Oceanside. But it just enters the atmosphere to the west of us and you can see it and it's quite spectacular. So if you're up and the skies are clear, it's certainly worth a look. So back to net. KC6UFE. Hey Bill. Thank you. And that's the list of my habits. Is there anyone else wishing to check in before we close? Do we have anybody who wants to say anything before we close? Six ncx? Go ahead, learn. Yeah, I just like to ask Bill for a little more explanation of what he was just talking about that will be so spectacular if we want to stay up late and the skies are clear, something is going to fall off the space, the space station. Can you tell us, Bill, back to net control, this is Cav6NCS. Go ahead, Bill, if you got an answer on that. I got an answer. Casey6Ufe yeah, it reminds me one time I was listening to my scanner out in front of the airport, Santa Barbara, and the Continental airline took off. And he radioed back to the tower and said, what was that? That fell off the front of my plane. So I heard that. Anyway, the cargo. The cargo ship has unloaded and it's going to disembark Thursday night at around 11.30pm and come back in towards the planet and land in the ocean. And it enters the atmosphere just to the west coast of us and then it's going to run down the coast. And the plasma bloom that it creates is really spectacular. I mean, it is something to see on the order of what it looks like when that space shuttle blew up. So. But it's not a bunch of pieces, it's one big one. So that's the way I'm that story I'm telling back to net KC6UFE. Okay, thank you, Bill and anybody else. All right, this concludes the building Empire Amateur Radio Society Net.
