Not quite sure what life is like for the rest of you, but currently up here in the North-west it is unusually cold...
like about 26 degrees (F) or -4 (C) with a wind-chill of about -16. Unusual considering that the average temperature in Victoria B.C this time of year is 42 degrees (F) - nope, it is not a frigid wasteland North of 49 like most of our brothers and sisters south of the border assume. You want cold - try Minnesota... or Winnipeg, Manitoba. Anyway - the gang up here; Hall-Patch, Salmaniw, Newell and Co. are all huddled in their ice-houses, their fingers frozen to the teeny dials of their Sony Prison radios... it is rough. Hopefully, this Friday, Jack Winter permitting... our call-sign will become VA7WWV/KH6 on day one of our "Hawaii Five-Oh" tour... yup. Special birthday this Christmas! If the weather permits. If we can get to the Vancouver airport via our puddle jump flight from Pat Bay, Victoria. Fingers crossed... and frost bitten. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Colin Newell - Editor - CoffeeCrew DOT Com --- Victoria, British Columbia - Radio VA7WWV Editor - DXer DOT CA and Bob Harris DOT Com ------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
