  Kevin.

Oh for your temperatures. We here in North Carolina have been having a 
battle with the record for the most days over 90 deg/F.  Right now, we 
are 10 days ahead of the record in 2007.  Global warming speculation 
anyone??

since I have lived in Oregon.  Folks here are talking about summer coats and
gloves.  They are not kidding!  I have only had a couple t-shirt days and
those are spaced out on those rare days when the temperature got over 70
degrees.  However, there is a silver lining to that grey cloud: the fire
danger has been very low.  Just means we have to wait for next year to feel
warm.  "Summer" started late, is finishing early and was interspersed with
many cold snaps so we had maybe three weeks of warm weather total.  Even the
leaves are changing and the critters are making plans for winter.

copy was very good.  Unfortunately all of that was local.  No great shakes
for DX contacts but it was fun to call CQ and see who was out there.  Casual
chats which were tailended by other curiosity seekers was a nice way to
spend a few hours on the radio.  No points to worry about, no pile ups to
fight, just work a few people and find out what they are thinking.  Once I
make contact I rarely talk about radio since it is obvious that I have one.
It is more fun to talk about the garden or the outdoors or just whatever
comes up.  No pressure to perform just a simple chat.  And, since they are
locals, we can talk about how cold it is without someone thinking we are a
bit whacko :)
