They like the alder thickets when they grow larger than about six inches in diameter.  The lower branches die off and a nice sleeping area forms.  It's also a good place for cedar and hemlock to get a start.  Douglas fir likes a lot of sun so they compete for openings in the canopy.  Cedar and hemlock like it moister and well shaded when they sprout.

I am going to move the forty meter net frequency a bit higher to 7047 kHz.  This may eliminate some of the QRM.  If that doesn't work I'll need to find something else to try.  Luckily the bands are pretty quiet other than the thunderstorms over the plains.
