UV Data

Ted and all,

I also couldn’t resist sorting the data by county, but I was not at all surprised by the results. Having lived for about 50 of my 77 years in Arizona and New Mexico, I knew we had to be near the top of the list. I feel it every day!!! Ironically, my early days of youth were spent in the northwest, where the numbers are exactly the opposite! That’s why so many people up north have that peachy-creamy skin, and down here we all look like shoe leather! Here in the southwest we also develop a close relationship with our dermatologists, or we darn well should! The good news is that things don’t tend to rust here!!! Hi.

73,
Dave W7AQK

Doing that for the 3107 entries, my QTH in Teller County, Colorado, at an average elevation of about 8500' and with 247 sunny days per year according to the tourist adsr, is number 511. 53 of the 67 counties in Florida rank above it. I would not have guessed that . . .

Re: UV Data

We're drifting a little but I must concur with my friend Dave's comments. I've
lived over 70 of my 77 years right here in Tucson. As kids we routinely went
shirtless and shoe-less while outside and often suffered severe sunburns.

After graduating to driving car without A/C, we drove with the windows down and
our left forearms on the door sills. As a consequence most of my sun-damaged
skin in on the left side. The slightest puncture or pressure can cause bleeding
under the skin and the tinist I see my lovely dermatologist twice a year
