Good Evening,

    Conditions on twenty meters were adequate.  QRN from storms. Slow 
QSB on everyone.  Forty meters was a little stronger with the storm 
noise well in the distance.  Both K6XK and K4TO are busy with new 
antennas getting ready for winter.  160 meters was mentioned by both.  
Dave's 40 meter antenna was good on twenty meters but much better on its 
native band.  His paired Moxon antennas beat his dipole by two S units 
on back to back tests. They also mentioned pleasant, sunny days unlike 
my fog, cold, and rain.  It is time for me to burrow into my winter 
house activities.  A few clear days this week will let me drop my 
inverted V and see what it needs for the rainy season.

The elk hunters keep driving by but the nearby clear cutting is driving 
the game deeper into the canyons.  The slopes are not easy to navigate 
with all the slash piled up but the elk are better suited to climbing 
than are humans.  They are also in no hurry.

    Until next week 73,

        Kevin.  KD5ONS
