Good Evening,
Twenty meters was surprising. Brian came on early with a very loud
signal. Dave and Roy were both weaker than normal. Easy copy because
the band was not as noisy. John did have the noise of a storm covering
him even though his signal was good too. Jim had a great signal but was
about to melt from 104 degree heat. His pool was calling him.
Forty meters was not like the last three weeks. It had noise on it. A
storm well off in the distance, not the dead quiet of before. The QSB
had a 3 s-unit range but copy was good.

Between nets I went out on the deck. It had warmed up enough for the
butterflies to start working the clover. One of them flew up into a fir
tree. That drew my eye to a smaller than normal hummingbird. In shades
of gray. An immature hummingbird learning how to fly. I'm not sure
which species. There are two here: Rufous and Anna's, both small, both
colorful. This one was a study by Ansel Adams, "Hummingbird in a shaft
of light". Maybe I can see it as it gains its adult plumage.
Until next week stay cool, drink your fluids, get on the air, 73

Do, or do not, there is no try.
