Good Evening,
    When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people  
to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and  
to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to  
which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent  
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the  
causes which impel them to the separation.

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created  
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable  
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. —  
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,  
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That  
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is  
the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new  
Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its  
powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their  
Safety and Happiness.

    To everyone who recognizes these famous words I ask you to review the  
rest of the document.  It is quite inspiring to read, on this, our  
birthday.  Happy 235th!!

    Weather has become warm.  The hottest day of the year so far at 73  
degrees Fahrenheit.  With no breeze this is pretty hot.  I know it is a  
little warmer in other parts of the world but this is what I experience.   
It is nice to see the sun again after all the wet and cold weather.  I  
finally broke down on Wednesday and started a fire to feel warmth again.   
Now I have a stack of wood next to the stove ready for our next cold snap.

    Between appointments I was able to get on the air a couple times this  
week.  Conditions were not too bad on twenty meters.  I could hear both  
into Alabama and California.  I hope conditions are just as good tomorrow.

    If anyone is interested in acting as a relay station on either net  
please email me.  I will turn the net over to you for a few minutes so you  
can call areas in my skip zone.  It sure would prove helpful to those I  
cannot reach directly.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help  (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

Sunday 2200z (Sunday 3 PM PDT) 14050 kHz

    Stay well,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
