Good Evening,
It was a good day for a hike. Warm enough to not wear a jacket, but
cold enough to limit the biting flies. The soil is decompressing from
the snow; the sword fern are springing up. Some bracken fern are pushing
free, but mostly the forest floor is open. The seasonal stream in the
northwest corner of my property is running. On the way back I heard an
odd bird call. Suddenly I was sitting by mom in a blind, next to the
marsh on grandpa's homestead in North Dakota. "An American Bittern.
That doesn't make sense. I'm in a forest." Then I got a look at the
bird. It was a crow giving the call I had not heard in years. I know
they mimic but where did he hear a bittern around here?
The sun is active. It has tossed so many CMEs in the last while
that they cannot keep track of them all. However, one is due to hit
Earth later tomorrow. Hopefully this week's blast will hold off until
after all the nets. In any case we can test the ionosphere's condition
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
Please join us on (or near):
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
