Good Evening,

    Propagation was better this week.  Both bands were clear and loud.  
Some whistlers on 40 m but the thunderstorm QRN was gone. Those 
thunderstorms have been replaced by blizzards.  Roy is prepping his 
snowblower while Ken is outside in a creche tonight. Enjoying winter can 
take many forms.  I do miss digging out my neighbor's car by mistake.

    I believe forty meters has found its winter's home - 0000z worked.  
I had to move off of the chosen frequency due to a rag chew in 
progress.  Limiting clicks from both above and below chose the odd 
frequency.  I tried getting people to log in early in fear of the band 
going south at any moment.  However, they held firm and did not respond 
until the top of the hour.  Then for the next 24 minutes I took check 
ins and comments.

    Rick had power and comms after the Anchorage quake.  Roy was still 
prepping for the next blizzard.  Jim was decorating his house.  Dale was 
relaxing preparing for the next holiday.  And Brian was planning another 
trip.  I am not sure if this one is off planet again or not.  He did not 
say.
