Good Evening,
It has been an interesting week. Trees kept collapsing from the
snow load. They take out the power lines causing day long power
outages. Power would come back on, last an hour or so, and go out again
for another twelve hours. Wind is kicking up right now so I may or may
not have power for tomorrow's nets. The forecast is for 37 degrees F so
it is a race between the wind and the thaw. However, I have improved my
wood stove cooking techniques. I have also read my way through about a
foot of the magazine stack.
The sun has calmed down for the new year. The sunspot number is half
of what it was last week but the flux index is still over 100. There is
some auroral activity so QSB will be present. The kinglets have
returned. The snow cover lets me identify them more easily. They are
exploiting the same bushes they were last month, only now they're
covered with snow. All the branches are covered with snow so birds
jostle for preferred perches. Or they misjudge the snow for the solid
part of the branch, foiling their perfect landing. The deer and elk are
easier to see too.
Please join us on (or near):
14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0030z Monday (4:30 PM PST Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
-
all nearness pauses, while a star can grow
all distance breathes a final dream of bells;
perfectly outlined against afterglow
are all amazing and the peaceful hills
and history immeasurably is
wealthier by a single sweet day’s death:
as not imagined secrecies comprise
goldenly huge whole the upfloating moon.
