Good Evening,
The week has been rather good. I have spent much of it at the bench working
on circuits and a little software. One of these days my web site will go live.
I took a good hike on the semi-dry terrain before the clouds broke and the
rain returned. The nearby stream is very low; I doubt it will last more than a
few weeks after the dry season returns. At least the ferns and bryophytes are
happy. The cedars love having their feet wet and grow quite large near or in
the stream. I found an odd sight: a cedar and a hemlock so mooshed together I
am sure there was little bark between them. I know trees of similar species
can share vascular systems but I truly doubt this disparate couple could.
The bands were happy this week. Both fox hunts were not too tough, at least
into Oregon. I moved one rig into the front room and put it on my bench. Two
antennas also made the move so I can monitor the bands while I work. I got to
hear some SWBC stations so I can get the news of the world without getting on
the Internet. This setup is also useful to monitor how the bands are working.
However, when I tried to listen to 41 meters all I got was SSB. I had
forgotten the SWBC stations there had moved :) I am happy the sun is awakening
nicely. It has been a long winter, now for spring.
Please join us tomorrow evening.
