Good Evening,
The bands were more spread out today. I just noticed I did not work
anyone from Colorado. Normally I get two on twenty meters and often one
on forty meters. Today not a peep. But I did work Connecticut on both
bands. Indiana too. Luckily the sun got into the act this week
supplying more ions. The change in season is also assisting us.
Weather reports were of a cooling across the North. The two Texans
were not good enough copy to ascertain their temperatures but the ops
from California described summer heat. I am toasty too but that is
because my woodstove is going strong. Looks like autumn has come
early. I was hoping for another few weeks of fair weather but it is now
rainy, foggy, and cold.

I found a copy of the Farmer's Almanac and read about next year's
weather. They paint in broad strokes but describe a warmer than average
July and August for the Pacific Northwest with a longer summer season
than we had this year. They also call for a milder winter with less
snow and rain than normal. This is good. Now to collect as much wood
as possible between now and the truly rainy season so I will not live my
life on theory alone. I am a pragmatist who likes to be prepared for
the worst while enjoying what comes along.
Until next week stay well,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
