Good Evening,
The sun has been spotless for the last few days. A CME just missed
the earth earlier this week. Plus the SFU is getting rather anaemic at
71. But the right time of day on the right band can work wonders. Late
at night on the low bands has been fun; the higher bands not so much.
Tomorrow we can test 20 & 40 meters again.
Laziness is a virtue. If I can split wood with only one swing I can
split more wood before I'm beat. If there is a knot I rotate the wood.
If there is any crack I exploit it; natural cleavage lines are best.
The optimal spot to set my wedge is about 1/3 of the way in on a radial
line from the center (orthogonality is important). 1/2 way for smaller
logs, as little as 1/8 of the way in for larger logs (4 footers). If I
set the wedge too close to the center I work too hard; that triggers my
inherent laziness. Splitting wood gives me time to think :)
Please join us tomorrow on:
14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
