Good Evening,
I have had a very pleasant day and week. The weather has stabilized with
temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s. Under the canopy of the forest it is
cool enough to work even on the hottest days cutting and hauling wood. Another
month or so and I should have around 2000 cubic feet of wood (approximately 15
cords). All the signs are pointing to a harsh and long winter. I want to be
cozy and warm so I am putting sweat equity into achieving that goal. Winter is
the time when I can spend long hours at the bench. All of the tools and parts
are in place for a very productive winter. I now have faster Internet service
so I can grab all the spec sheets and compiler parts I need.
Propagation was slightly better this week than last but my data points were
fewer since I did not get on the air as much. Working long hours outside has
kept me away from the radios. Space Weather shows only one small spot on the
sun although it could still produce a flare. Reports of sporadic E contacts
have dropped off lately so maybe it truly is summer. My extended forecast is
for dry weather with mild to chilly temperatures. I wonder how long it would
take me to re-acclimate to a Midwestern summer? I do miss warm weather and
humidity but the mosquitoes take a little of the fun out of the remembrances ;)
Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
