Good Evening,
When I received weather reports this afternoon I had the next to hottest
temperature. Only Steve, K4JPN, in Georgia was warmer at 95 degree. Even now
I am still sticking to the desks at which I seat myself. The breeze running
through the house is regulated by where the most shade is around the house.
Now that the sun is behind the canopy of the trees it is cooling down some. No
matter what you may think Oregon is not all that humid. Nothing like the
Midwest or South. So when the sun goes down it cools off quickly.
Conditions on twenty meters were weak to the East but better to the North
and South of me. I am still waiting for propagation to get back to where it
was during the spring. Even though the solar cycle is on a rising note it is
taking its own sweet time about improving. Forty meters greeted me with heavy
QRN. You may have been calling me but my noise level was S5 during the entire
net so I may not have heard you. Walking out to listen to the trees and birds
was quite soothing afterward.

Hopefully my weather will cool off just a little so I can get back to work on
my wood pile. There is a lot cut in the woods but it needs to get split and
find its way home with me. Once I clear the entire loop I will be able to
gather more wood more quickly but until then I am practicing backing up my F250
along a winding path through the trees. I tried marking the trees with
surveyor's tape only to find I could not tell right from left. So I have
modified my scheme to yellow on one side and pink on the other. That helps me
not run into trees.
Until next week stay cool,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
