Good Evening,

    The full moon rose over the horizon as I was eating dinner. Then it 
disappeared into the dense clouds.  I thought it was going to be clear 
enough to see the Christmas comet but those clouds got in the way.  
Maybe next week when the moon is less bright and farther along in its 
orbit.

    It's official, today was two seconds longer than yesterday. That 
means spring can't be too far off.  The sun has been blank 60% of 2018.  
Next year should be close to the bottom of this cycle with a greater 
than 60% blank sun.  The good thing is the solar cycle rises more 
rapidly than it falls.  2020 should be better than fair.

   A doe caught my attention early today.  She had been browsing her way 
past the window when something made her twitch an ear.  I watched her 
for a while until I saw one of my trees had a tail. The other side of 
the tree had a yearling's head.  Strange tree.

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
