Good Evening,
    I am unsure whether it is winter now.  The rain is so heavy the roads  
are getting very rutted.  Down in the valleys the streams are almost  
overflowing.  Where on Monday I had cold and snow I now have a deluge.   
Internet connectivity has become intermittent due to the heavy fog.   
Luckily the rain clears it away when falling heavily.  From what I can see  
on the satellite photo I am in a stream which may not end until the end of  
the month ;)  Fortunately rain is no big deal in Oregon; we get plenty of  
it.  It is also nicer than the amount of snow we would be getting if the  
temperature were just a bit lower.
    Propagation has been good on twenty meters but forty meters has been  
less forgiving.  In a month, with the return of the sun, I think it will  
get better.  If you live in the far west you may want to check in before  
the hour on forty meters so the band does not close before you get a  
chance.  I'll try to be on ten minutes early to handle the band before the  
door closes to the locals and it goes long.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
