Good Evening,
Conditions were fair to OK on both bands. Slow QSB on everyone on
both bands. There was a storm somewhere on 40 meters. A steady grumble
behind the code. Everyone described cooler weather. Even in
California, but they're hoping for less smoke. There are more fires in
Oregon, still east of the Cascades. Drought conditions prevail
throughout the Great Basin across to the Great Plains. Ken in North
Dakota had rain and the start of fall. Dave mentioned rain too. It has
been a few weeks but there have been a couple foggy mornings here.
Those really help the forest keep moist. Roy had cooler, much less
windy weather.
At the end of the first net I saw the ferns falling over about
thirty feet in front of me. They would fall over and then drag
themselves into a hole. I never did see the rodent but I am sure of who
was doing it. The local mountain beaver - Aplodontia rufa pacifica. I
just found out there is a subspecies living north of San Fransisco: A.
rufa nigra. They love to dig burrows into the side-hills, I rarely see
them in flatter areas except under piles of slash. They do move around
in the daytime but you never see them. They LOVE rhododendrons. Mine
rarely have a chance to get very tall, they all get eaten.
