Good Evening,
Late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning I was awakened by a
loud noise. Then another. It was a Barred Owl, right outside my
window. He kept it up for about thirty minutes, until he moved off and
I fell back asleep. They are regular visitors, as are Saw Whet owls.
Spotted owls are a less frequent, but once you associate them with their
call, you hear them a few times a year. Sitting at a radio digging for
stations on shortwave was good practice for birding.
The sun has no sunspots showing but there is activity from the
backside. A CME blasted off sideways. In two weeks we may be treated
to more sunspots. The auroral oval is bright so the ionosphere is
charged. I expect more noise than recently with faster QSB.
There is a little snow left from the last storm but more coming
tomorrow. I slipped down the mountain for supplies early in the week
and I'm ready for the next storm. Snow level will drop to 1500 feet,
about 500 feet below me. If the power stays on I can stay busy. If it
goes out I can read the magazines piling up. As long as it does not
drop below zero I'm fine. If it does it just means I'll be working more
on wood than on the computer :)
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

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand:
They wept like anything to see
Such quantities of sand:
"If this were only cleared away,"
They said, "it/would/be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year,
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.
