Good Evening,
   Fall is definitely in the air.  The temperature got up to 62 today and the leaves of a few trees are falling.  I have seen a few color changes too.  Split wood is stacking up in the forest but it needs to find its way home and into a stack before the rainy season begins.  Forecasts are for another week of low 60 degree weather with some rain.  No big storms yet but it will be here soon enough.  Hunters are getting ready and I have seen a few bear who got unlucky or incautious.  
   Propagation was decent; especially today when the Iowa balloon was on its way up.  Until it got to 30,000 feet the signal was good copy and then it faded until the balloon burst and it descended.  I started hearing it again at about 25,000 feet and followed it on the way down to around 10,000 feet with poor copy.  During my daily skeds twenty meters was good but for the fox hunt I was skunked again; only hearing the local fox's hounds without nary a peep from him.  The further fox was nowhere to be found.  

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
