Good Afternoon,
Last night twenty meters was not a happy band. Other than Rick's mighty KX1 signal there were no strong stations. He was 599 here while I could not hear Pete's KX1 from California. It was rough going. Forty meters was not good to me either but N0SS had a better time of things. He worked the lion's share of the check ins.
Just before the nets I saw the first snow of the season. By the time the second net rolled around it was starting to stick. This morning my alarm clock was unnecessary since the fir trees were unloading snow onto my roof. Now it is all gone but there was mixed snow and rain until about noon.
I need to finish a little work on the front room before I can move all of my equipment back there. The cold weather is forcing the issue. I'll need to wear gloves soon if I don't get closer to the fireplace! But the wood supply is in order, the chimney is clean, and the stove has been caulked. Sam likes his box close to the back of the stove where he can keep an eye on me and stay warm at the same time.

Sorry these notes are out a little late. I thought it better that I get some rest last night. I feel much better today. Now to finish some insulating. Yuck, if it is one job I dislike it is getting covered with fiberglass! I am putting on a mask, goggles, hooded sweatshirt, plus gloves. Hopefully that will help me keep most of it off my skin. But it will keep Sam and I warmer and let me move my base of operations closer to the fire.
Until next week stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
