Good Evening,
The snow is almost gone. Sun, rain, and higher temperatures have
caused some flooding. The trees have been pruned of branches, tops,
weakly attached needles, and most of the tufts of lichen. Usnea strands
provide deer with a lot of carbohydrates and some protein. The birds
are back fluffing up the forest floor. Now the cyanobacteria can thrive
while fixing nitrogen.
The sun has been pretty active this week. A large flare on the back
side caused some radio black outs. A solar stream is due on the 16th.
Conditions should range from noisy to very noisy. Hopefully QSB will be
slow. Space Weather says the CME will mostly miss us. Propagation will
be interesting.
This break in winter weather will let me work on another antenna. I
need to gather all the broken antenna material and see how many radials
I can scavenge. Antennas only last a few winters before the snow in the
trees chews them up. I also have 150 feet of CAT6 cable for a more
extensive ground plane.
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
