Good Evening,
I was just about to write this note when there was a loud whoomp which shook
the house. I walked around the house in the dark to investigate. I had
expected to find another tree down but it was only the wood pile. We are going
through a thaw which has melted a lot of the fourteen inches of snow we had
yesterday. The freeze and thaw cycle must have found a weakness in my stacking
technique. However, it is still covered with plastic so I can start burning it
next month.
There is a contest underway so I will investigate that too. Looks like it
is the North American QSO Party. Should be over long before tomorrow's nets.
Conditions on 20 meters were good this week. Now that we are officially
starting our way back up the solar cycle the sun has shown some activity.
There may be aurora in a few days which should help feed the ionosphere. I
have listened to 40 meters a couple of times this week and found it good too.
Now to keep ahead of all the falling trees! I lost about ten more over the
last week to the heavy snow load. They were weakened by last year's wind storm
and all of the snow and rain we've had over the last month. Luckily they are
not close to the house. Two were very close to the pump house though. I'll
need to cut them up gingerly because they are laying across many feet of garden
hose.
Please join us tomorrow evening.
