Good Evening,

   Twenty meters was noisy but from what I can tell most of it was from the storm right over me.  Part of the roar I was hearing was the rain falling on the roof but a lot of it was static.  When the rain slowed so did the static noise.  QSB was deep.  One second signals were S3 the next they were S7 to S9.  Forty meters was more quiet but fewer signals.  Maybe 0100z would be better for that band.

  We talked about home cooking, more yard work, spring weather, and what we're doing to stay busy during confinement.  Reading and writing came up.  I've been banging at the keyboard writing software and detailed design documents for each application.  It's getting to be a habit.  I also have been rereading text books for ideas on writing more code.  Differential equations are a good source as is the realm of linear algebra.  But applying abstract algebra is more difficult.

  There are a lot more furry critters out and about.  I saw my first snake of the year recently too.  A very fat garter snake. The ferns are unrolling rapidly.  Friday there were a few six inches tall.  Today those are three feet tall.  Warmer soil has also awakened the moles out aerating the grass.

  Hopefully this week the sun will continue its run of small sunspots.

Until next week 73,

    Kevin.  KD5ONS
