Good Evening,
I am a bit late getting this out tonight but I have had a very busy day.
Most of the week has provided mild weather and one very nice day of sun and
warmth. However, the very next day it was pouring and cold. Then the rain
started to look odd; kind of thick. Then it turned white. I thought my fire
had gone out and kept checking it. No the fire was going but the outside
temperature had dropped considerably. Snow storm number eleven (I have been
keeping track this year) was not turning the ground white but, still, it was
snow. By the way, early in the week I saw the first flowers of spring: snow
drops.
On the other hand the sun has become much more active over the last few
days. While we have only had two days without a sunspot all year this week the
sun provided us with an M class flare which opened 15 and even 10 meters
yesterday. Today 15 meters is still open to a few areas and the sun continues
to spout ionizing radiation. A coronal hole has also added a CME which, even
though it is mild, has caused some aurora. All in all things are looking good
radio-wise. Time to start checking those beacons and call a few CQs on the
upper bands. I need to hook up my 6 meter loop again and see who I can work.
Please join us tomorrow evening.
