Good Evening,
This week the lupine have begun to bloom lower down the mountain. The false
Solomon's seal are in full bloom up here while they are waning down below. 40
meters has been very active each day from 2000z onward. There are a few
operators who enjoy running QRQ. It is fun to listen to them chatter away.
Twenty meters has shown some activity but it has not been as good this week. I
have been busy banging away on projects so have not done more than listen. If
everyone simply listens by definition the band is dead. I will never know who
may have responded if I had called CQ.
Today, on my way to town, I saw a doe and then her two fawns. They were the
tiniest I had ever seen. I don't think either of them was 18 inches at the
head! They knew just what to do when mom turned around and walked off the
road. She must have been feeding them when I disturbed her. It was about 2 PM
which is not a normal time to see deer since they are crepuscular by nature.
However, the road is not very active on the weekend so they may have been
bedding close to the spring which lies near the road at that point.
Please join us tomorrow evening.
1) Hail signs (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7 PM PDT) 7045 kHz
Stay well,

P.S. I hope all the folks in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin were able to avoid
the worst of the heavy weather today. I have sent a note to my brother but
have not received a reply yet. Two large storms converged near his part of WI
so I am concerned.
KJR
