Good Evening,
The sun is sinking toward the horizon and the veeries are making their
peculiar call. The ferns are about done unrolling and the fir trees have all
gained new growth. The deer have started to graze in the front lawn and a
female grouse has taken to roosting above the house. At first I could not
figure out the clucking sound. Not quite like a hen but it got me looking.
Then when we saw each other she did not flush. In fact she flew closer to look
at me.
The hummingbirds allow me to walk on my deck but it seems I must ask
permission. Feisty little things. I think I will put up a few more feeders to
spread them out a little. As it is they flash their tails at me to show their
dominance. OK, but who fills the feeders? However, they have not injured me,
yet.
Propagation on twenty meters has been good lately. Today I have been
reading about 10 and 6 meters being open. Looks like sporadic E season is in
full swing. I have had fun this week working on my code project. Now to
figure out the odd tones when it transmits. I'll trace the data from the
microcontroller to modem and the modulated sinewave from modem to transmitter.
I think it is a ground plane issue but debugging is what makes life interesting
;)
Please join us tomorrow evening.
