Good Evening,
The small sunspot of last week has crossed over the limb of the
sun. Some auroral activity so there are ions out there. Without the
storms of summer it should be pretty quiet. My noise floor is normally
low, somewhere below S1. No nearby neighbors, no electric fences, and
underground power lines. My only possible interference is from the
antenna farm about 1/2 a mile away. An aircraft beacon, with various
amateur, state police, forestry, and fire repeaters. The antenna which
sends me Internet is the one to the east. There may be an FM broadcast
band repeater too, I'm not sure. Oh and a cellular telephone repeater.
All of them live above 20 meters. I don't think there is a beacon for
mariners, I am not that close to the ocean but the Columbia River is not
that far to my north or east. However, I've never heard any
interference from any of those antennas on the frequencies I use.
The mild weather has the buds swelling and a few sprouts popping
up. We had two inches of snow Monday morning but the temperatures have
risen into the low fifties. I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Please join us tomorrow on:
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (2 PM PST Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (4 PM PST Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
