The propagation has been poor, then better, then good, and now poor again.  I expect that cycle will continue long after I am gone.

Solar flux is marginal but I have been making sporadic contact with the East Coast, Midwest, Southeast, Southwest, Western Canada, and folks not local to the Pacific Northwest.  While I do get the occasional weak check in from Washington and the line of sight folks in Oregon the PNW is usually too close for good copy.

Family news, dog health, camping trips, fishing, and the weather have all been discussed in the past.  Since we all use Elecraft gear we rarely talk about our rigs.  We do discuss new gear being offered, stories about repair of old gear, and antennas - always antennas.
