Good Evening,

    The sun was orange all week, dark red at sunrise.  Smoke is causing 
the trees to lose leaves.  After I started dinner yesterday I walked 
onto the porch.  The red huckleberries are easy to spot in this new 
color scheme.  I was interrupted by a snort to my right.  The wind was 
coming from that direction, how could she smell me?  I went inside to 
find her.  A black-tailed doe was outside my window for the next half 
hour sampling the greenery.

   The sun has been blank most of the week.  Solar flux is low.  I 
expect weak signals with medium to deep QSB.  There was enough solar 
wind to shake up the ionosphere.

    I received a single lever paddle on Wednesday.  Relearning 
characters went quickly, many of them are easier with one paddle than 
with two.  The one character which has been difficult is Q. With two 
levers the keyer allows you to hold the dash key for all three dashes 
while adding the dit at the correct spot.  I have to force my forefinger 
to release pressure for that dit to be sent.


Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
   7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

    73,
