Good Evening, My grey day turned blustery and then rainy a short time ago. After the second net I was in a big hurry to get something to eat so rushed off. I think it was the smell of bread dough rising which was driving me crazy :) Luckily I had moved it off the wood stove because that finally caught well and was putting out some heat. The dough was behind the stove and rising nicely. Punched it down and then rolled it into a bread pan. At 450 degrees it did not get done for dinner but rather a short time later. It was Very Good! The bands were both OK. Not stellar but good enough to support a fair number of check ins. On forty meters there was quite bit of QSB and the noise was rising steadily throughout. For some reason I got the state NTS coordinator to check in on twenty. He was not all that strong but then he is on the other side of the mountain not far from the Columbia. At the last SeaPac hamfest he had a hotdog feed which allowed the NTS folks to meet face to face. Scary bunch :)

The game began after the first net and halftime began shortly after the second net began. So, those of you who were interested in its outcome were not put out too much. Half time is normally quite boring so I am very happy I was otherwise occupied ;) Listening to the game on the radio was fun. Since the mountain I live on is in the way of all the local TV stations I am very lucky to not have any reception. Until next week stay well, 73, Kevin.
