Good Evening,

    The sunspot number has dropped below 100.  Solar flux is still high 
at 121 sfu.  There have been a few CMEs from spots on the back side of 
the sun.  Those spots will be facing us later in the week.  However, 
tomorrow there should be a window of opportunity. We can work our way 
through the flux and flares and summer storms.

    Summer storms have been infrequent.  If it were not for the nightly 
fog the fire danger would be quite high.  Loggers begin at 3 AM, I could 
set a clock by them.  The strange thing is the unloaded log trucks pass 
by my house, while the loaded ones do not.  They must have cut another 
route off the mountain.

    Between the deer and the rabbits the area has been cleared of salal 
leaves.  They retain their ripe fruit though.  Snow berries are also 
ripe so there will be either Spruce or Ruffed Grouse here soon.  They 
add a little excitement to the day.  If it is windy they flush only when 
you are right on top of them.  But it is nothing like having a covey of 
quail explode around you :)


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

I found out I was miss-identifying bear berries.  The ones in the forest 
are called snow berries.
