Good Evening,
    Winter has returned to Oregon.  Cloudy skies with rain.  Freezing every  
night.  But sun every week for at least an hour or two.  Luckily for me  
this winter has been very mild.  All the wood I collected last summer and  
fall is lasting quite well.  I will have some left over for next year at  
this rate.  I thought it was going to be a tough winter when the roads  
were blocked with 15 inches of very dry snow for Thanksgiving.  However,  
by the middle of December all the snowing for the season had finished.   
Unless something major comes along between now and March I'll have many  
cords of wood left for next year.
    Propagation has been less than optimal.  I have been kicked off the air  
more than once this week due to poor conditions.  Lots of noise and some  
fluttering.  The sun has not been cooperating lately.  Just checked  
SpaceWeather.  The solar winds have been creating a lot of aurora so that  
may be the cause of our recent difficulties.  The deer have moved back up  
the mountain.  They are now roaming the backyard eating whatever they can  
find.  The front yard is less green so I do not see them there.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
