Good Evening,
    Spring is gradually awakening the plants and bringing more birds 
each day.  The local marsh is noisy with the frogs, toads, and water 
fowl.  Even though it is warming there have been few sunny hours during 
the week; mostly shades of grey with many showers and a few ice pellet 
storms, not really hail just tiny bits of ice of uniform size.  My wood 
pile needs replenishment. The previous fall's collection was a bit 
lacking.  Next dry day I'll have to gather some of the wood stacked out 
in the forest.

   Propagation has been up and down.  On Friday it was way down to the 
point where it broke a long standing sked.  Between the active sun and 
the change in season twenty meters is changing daily. Last weekend the 
band had more fading than usual with light QSB. Forty meters gained a 
few more thunderstorms so the noise level was higher than during the 
winter months however, for most of the folks who check in on both bands, 
it was stronger.  It seemed to reach further than normal too.

Please join us tomorrow.

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
  7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (6 PM PDT Sunday)

     73,
         Kevin. KD5ONS
