Good Evening,

    The sun has been active this week with a few flares strong enough to 
cause radio black outs.  But I was able to work Hungary on 20m a few 
hours ago.  Rapid QSB kept changing the pitch of his signal.  Solar flux 
is strong at 166, the auroral oval shows a strong flow of incoming 
ions.  I found a few signals on 15m too.


Please join us on (or near):


14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 2330z Sunday (4:30 PM PDT Sunday)


73,  Kevin.  KD5ONS

It's all wrong.  By rights, we shouldn't even be here.  But we are.  Its 
like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered.  
Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to 
know the end.  Because how could the end be happy?  How could the world 
go back to the way it was when so much had happened?  But in the end, 
it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.  Even darkness must pass.

A new day will come, and when the sun shines it will shine out the 
clearer.  Those were the stories that stayed with you; that meant 
something, even if you were too small to understand why.  But I think, 
Mr. Frodo, I do understand.  I know now.  Folk in those stories had lots 
of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding 
on to something.

What are we holding on to, Sam?

That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo.  And it’s worth 
fighting for.
