Good Evening,

    I went for a hike this afternoon.  The mist was hanging in the air.  
It felt great to breath without smoke or ash in the air.  It has rained 
off and on for the last two days.  East of Portland they received over 2 
inches.  Hopefully that held true farther south.  I noticed a lot more 
birds flying around.  They didn't like the smoke either.  Plants and 
trees look a month older than normal.  They don't like breathing carbon 
monoxide.

    It has been a month since the sun had a spot.  The word is cycle 25 
has begun.  I wish it would show a more spirited entry. I spent the week 
writing some graphics code for a 3D engine.  Each trigonometric function 
requires a conversion factor.  Really, who thinks in radians?  "I'll cut 
this board at an angle of PI/4 +/- 2 deciradians."  I'll stick with 360 
degrees instead.  If it was good enough for the Babylonians it's good 
enough for us.  Fie on radian measure.

Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0045z Monday (5:45 PM PDT Sunday)

    73,
       Kevin. KD5ONS
