Good Evening,

    It was a sunny, mild week with a few days with morning fog. No rain 
fell so the fog is helpful.  The local bees pollinated the thimble berry 
bushes well.  A lot of blossoms have set fruit due to them.  Hopefully I 
get a few handfuls later this summer.  The salmon berries are ripening; 
early fruit is very sour.  Some wild strawberries are popping out too.  
Oregon grape has finished flowering and has set fruit.  You can eat them 
but they're very seedy.  It does make good jam if you strain some of 
them out.

    The sun has many spots with a number of active areas facing our 
way.  Solar flux is at 171 at the moment.  The sun is really waking up, 
it tossed another CME at us.  There is a geomagnetic storm watch a few 
days from now if it hits.  I expect the QSB will be moderate to heavy.  
Noise will be up too.  However, the signals seem to have their own 
trials with propagation.

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,  Kevin.  KD5ONS

     All this I know and do myself avow.
     Well may Penelope in form and brow
     And stature seem inferior far to thee,
     For she is mortal, and immortal thou.
     Yet even thus ’tis very dear to me
     My long-desired return and ancient home to see.

     “But if some god amid the wine-dark flood
     With doom pursue me, and my vessel mar,
     Then will I bear it as a brave man should.
     Not the first time I suffer. Wave and war
     Deep in my life have graven many a scar.
