Good Evening,
    Typical of this season in this part of the world the weather has 
gone from nice to wet.  The forecast for the foreseeable future has many 
variations on some kind of precipitation.  Rain, showers, snow, hail, 
mist, etc.  All of that means very high humidity too.  However, lots of 
leaves have appeared which were nowhere to be seen only a few days ago.  
Hopefully the high winds will not rip either them or my antennas down; 
it has been howling the last couple of days.

    Propagation, when I had a chance to test it, was poor on twenty and 
thirty meters.  When I could find a station I was unable to hear them 
for long.  I just checked Spaceweather.com and found we are in a weak 
solar stream.  If it is enough for aurora it may improve propagation 
over time.  But tomorrow we get to find out if it is a fair wind or foul 
which stirs the ions above our heads.

    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
Monday 0100z (Sunday 6 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

        Stay warm,
           Kevin.  KD5ONS
