Good Evening,

    The weeks seem to fly by this time of year.  It does not help that 
the days are short and gray.  You can never tell what time it is because 
the sun is so rarely visible.  Lots of rain too.  But it is not too cold 
and it has yet to snow.  The power went out for six hours or so but a 
few magazines and an engineering pad kept me busy.  A t-square and 
triangles as compared to CAD - I use the same construction tricks with 
either method.  Just because my compass is fifty years old doesn't mean 
it won't work.  Now where did I put my slide rule?

   Propagation seems to remain the same - clear, weak signals. Quiet 
bands except for a few whistlers from space.  The sun is still a little 
active.  Some aurora but weak at the moment.  I am hoping for a break in 
the clouds before the moon gets too bright so I can see Comet 46P.  The 
green of a comet is unmistakable. Unfortunately this one is very 
diffuse, the size of the full moon.  It is near Taurus for the next few 
days.

Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday  (2 PM PST Sunday)
   7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (4 PM PST Sunday)

73,

    Kevin. KD5ONS
