Good Evening,
The weather was quite nice here today. When I left my house for an ARES
meeting it was sunny. Halfway down the mountain I dove into a cloud and was in
fog until I broke through about 300 feet above the valley floor. Until I got
back home again it was cloudy and a bit wet. The meeting went well as meetings
go. Not much was settled but folks got to air their pet peeves :) Luckily I
had no opinions one way or the other. They were discussing the balkanization
of two meters and the digital modes. They never once discussed CW for some
reason :)
Twenty meters was good this week when I was able to get on the air. There
are no sunspots at the current time but some solar activity is due to strike
the earth soon and give us some auroras. However, they rarely get this far
south in the Pacific Northwest. They were much more prominent in Wisconsin
which is closer to the magnetic north pole. I often saw the sky filled from
horizon to horizon with waves and draperies of color. I wish I could have
shown Pat some aurora filled skies. We came close once but she had to believe
me more than actually know they were there. Very, very faint green on the far
northern horizon while we were about a mile away from the house under very dark
skies.
Please join us tomorrow evening.
