Good Evening,
The variety of shades of green around the mountain is astounding
this week. All the trees have their new growth of needles, many species
of berry bushes are blooming or forming berries, the ferns are almost
done unrolling, and the leaves of the undergrowth have all formed. The
hummingbird feeder needs to be refilled every three days. They seem to
be in constant motion; feeding their young and defending territories.
Just one species is present again this year. The chilly weather has
kept the Anna's hummingbird away the last two years. It would be nice
to have some warm weather again, I had to start a fire a few days back
to drive the chill out of the house.
The sun is spotless and mostly quiescent. While it's not providing
a lot of new ions it is not making much noise either. With less noise I
can hear better but even my very low noise floor is not enough to make
up for the lack of signals bouncing once or twice on the ionosphere. By
this time next year I hope to see an improvement. Patience can get boring.
Please join us tomorrow on:
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7045 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
