Good Evening,

    61% of 2018 has had a spotless sun.  I think this the first time 
above 60% all year.  Scanning the list on spaceweather.com we have to go 
back to 2009 for a more blank year.  2008 and 2009 were at the bottom of 
the previous cycle.  This means at least another year with few 
sunspots.  Luckily that is not the only way to get ions from there to 
here.  We can test that hypothesis tomorrow.

    There were a few snow flakes the day after Christmas.  They did not 
hit the ground.  However, there has been a lot of precipitation.  The 
birds appreciate any leftovers I have for them.  Sometimes I have to 
tell them to get out of the way they are so eager.  Even the Steller's 
jays are getting closer.  They are so skittish I've seen them jump when 
a junco flies by so they must be hungry.

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
