Good Morning,
    Spring comes slowly to Northern Oregon.  It begins early in mid 
February with the first flowers popping through the snow. Soon afterward 
the first of our two species of hummingbirds returns.  Currently they 
keep an eye on me as I split wood; anywhere near the feeder or the 
salmon berry blossoms and I get buzzed.  Next come the daffodils which 
are in their third week of blooming.  The flowering dogwood trees have 
begun blooming at lower elevations but they are a few weeks away up here.

    Propagation has been improving mostly from lesser noise levels.  The 
sun has been actively spewing ions in our direction with the solar wind 
frequently causing waves of noise.  Between the waves of noise 
conditions are pretty good.  Fiddling with NR settings can eliminate the 
QRN for a while until their characteristics change - then more fiddling.

Please join us this afternoon and evening.

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

     73,
         Kevin. KD5ONS
