Good Evening,
Once I figured out my high SWR problem the first net went well. I was on
the wrong antenna because I had last used the rig for MARS. After a few
switches were flipped all was in order. I expected fewer check ins because of
Mother's Day but was pleasantly surprised by Pete. I thought he would be
travelling this week. He did mention he was off again soon so maybe he had to
postpone one of his jaunts to the four corners of the earth. Send post cards
Pete :)
According to Dick spring is still in abeyance in Colorado. Well, if life
hands you snow wax your skis! Other reports around the country were of more
pleasant weather. Here it has been nice for a couple days. In keeping with
Pacific Northwest tradition rain is forecast for tomorrow! However, there is a
silver lining to that storm: the biting flies hatched and were out yesterday.
They only have a few weeks to mate before they die so a rainy day means I won't
be upset with them biting me!

If there are any errors please email me with the corrections. The grouse
have been drumming more vigorously during the last week. I am not sure of
their schedule but they sure seem excited! The owls have been calling at night
as have the frogs and toads. The deciduous trees are just starting to bloom
with a few of them opening their leaves. I walked past my truck after the
second net to listen to the quiet when I notice my windshield was yellow. I
lifted the wiper and a landslide of pollen rolled down. I am glad I am not
allergic to alder trees ;) The ferns are also getting started. A couple days
ago there was no sign of them. Today they are 18 inches tall. When full grown
they reach four feet. Slowly we are approaching summer. QRPTTF, 7QP, Dayton,
Field Day, SeaPac, and then it gets warm.
Until next week stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Station 5th Class)
