Good Evening,
It was a busy, chilly week. On Tuesday I found myself in a field of
elk. They are surprisingly noisy. As they diffuse through my property
they test the rotted slash. Now I have more paths to walk and there is
less forage. On Wednesday I saw a large covey of California quail
pecking gravel from the road. I have never seen them at this elevation
before. Then, early Thursday morning well before dawn, I was awakened
by a strange noise.

The sun has a few sunspot groups but solar wind is due to sweep the
ionosphere this weekend. Things could get noisy but we will still enjoy
QSB. Hopefully twenty meters will work better than last week. When I
hear little noise I usually work fewer stations. Forty meters runs
shortly after local sunset. Conditions change quickly as the net
proceeds. Soon I will have to move it forward 30 minutes. My vertical
antennas are surviving windstorms pretty well; doublets fall to flying
tree limbs within a year. Past antennas provide plenty of material to
make new ones.
Please join us on (or near):

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion,
Which makes thee startle,
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
An’ fellow-mortal!
