Good Evening,    Conditions were not good.  QSB was moderate while noise was weak.  Forty meters was stronger than twenty with more QSB.  I thought the CME would cause more hiss but I did not hear it. Weather reports were all over the place.  Four sites with rain, two with snow, a few sunny.

Ted, Does that mean that you were allowed to "color outside the lines"? As an engineer, I always had to "stay between the lines" (my creativity had to be placed in other directions, not exceeding specs) but that is good advice for drivers too - as well as clean side up and dirty side down.
