Good Evening,
    Imagine you are driving on a gravel road during a cloudy day. You 
come around a corner and see perfectly round spots of wet gravel 
surrounded by dry gravel everywhere else. A few weeks later you drive 
around that same corner on another gray day. This time the gravel is wet 
but there are circular cutouts of dry gravel. Both conditions are not 
uncommon here in the Pacific Northwest. What you saw in the first case 
was caused by the fir trees capturing the water from the clouds and 
dripping it unto their roots. The second case was just after it had 
started raining. The gravel got wet in the normal fashion but the fir 
trees once again captured the water. Only this time they had not 
released it yet. I live either near a temperate rain forest or in it. 
Odd things happen.
    The sun actually has a very tiny spot on it.  First in a long time.  
However, it is not something which is going to rattle the heavens.  The 
ionosphere is getting fed by the solar wind, as always, it's just not 
very windy these days.  But that is no reason not to get on the air.  It 
is not really outdoor weather yet with the snow still on the ground 
melting.  So warm up your rigs and call me.


Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
   7045 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
