Good Evening,

    The fir and cedar trees are changing color.  Old growth is dying 
off, shedding needles in the wind.  Spiders are getting large, as are 
their webs.  I collect them as I walk through the forest :)

    The sun sent us plenty of ions this week.  Enough to support comms 
on many bands.  Hopefully twenty and forty meters will be good 
tomorrow.  Space weather says we have a period of relative calm 
following a day long magnetic storm.


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

How I decode a few of the genes on three of the chromosomes in my ecosystem:


metabolism = (float) ((CL+i)->EN & 127) + 100.0;            EN::G5  
100.0 - 227.0
absorb = (float) (((CL+i)->EN & (7 << 7)) >> 7) +1.0)/16.0; EN::G4  6.25 
- 50.0%
satiety = (float) (((PL+i)->EN & (15 << 10)) >> 10) + 5.0;  EN::G3  5.0 
- 20.0
maturity = (int) (((PL+i)->EN & (7 << 19)) >> 19) + 1;      EN::G2  1 - 
8 cycles
senescence = (int) (((CL+i)->EN & (31 << 22)) >> 22) + 8;   EN::G1  8 - 
39 cycles
poison = (float) (((PL+i)->PL & (63 << 6)) >> 6) / 63;      PL::G4  
poison probability 0.0 - 1.0
strength = (float) (((PL+i)->PL & (63 << 12)) >> 12) / 63;  PL::G3  
poison strength
withstand = (float) (((HL+i)->HB & (31 << 20)) >> 20) / 31; HB::G3  
ability to withstand poison

Survivors breed the next generation with the crossover operator, 
chromosome by chromosome.  I am trying to balance the energy flow 
through the system.  Senescence prevents immortal carnivores. Plants and 
herbivores do not have this problem.
