Good Evening Folks,
Another week has passed; this one was pretty nice in the Pacific
Northwest. I know you will not believe me but we are on a run of sunny
days. It is surprising but true. The sky is full of many, many stars
tonight while Venus and Mars shone brightly. Venus has set but the
Pleiadies are leading the Hyades which are guiding Orion into the sky.
Quite nice in fact. I do need to drag the telescope out one of these
evenings and get back into the habit of finding Messier objects and
locating Herschel's list of interesting things. During the coldest part
of the winter we are above the clouds so the few lights visible are
obscured giving us very dark, transparent skies.
On Thursday evening the foxes and hounds were no where to be heard. I
am not sure if forty meters will work tomorrow night but I'll give it a
shot. I don't expect much because the week before had incrementally
better conditions but there were no check ins for my log. However,
nothing ventured nothing gained as my mother used to tell me. So, taking
Violet's (Mom to me) advice, I'll be plaintively calling CQ CQ ECN ECN DE
KD5ONS QNI ? K for at least 15 minutes or until the last check in is
heard. Please take the time to see if you can hear me and reply if that
is your wont.
