Good Evening,

    I hiked the southern edge of the property to take advantage of the 
sunny day.  Alders have self pruned; in some cases the entire tree.  
They don't like to lose direct sunlight.  Now there is open space where 
the elk and deer bed down.  Ferns have fallen due to the cold.  This let 
me see the ground and avoid mountain beaver holes.  I stepped on a hoof 
hardened elk trail and thought I was on stable ground.  A few steps 
later my left foot was stuck a foot below ground level in one of their 
burrows.  It took a minute to get free; good thing they had loosened the 
soil.

    The sun is quite active.  At least two CMEs have hit the earth's 
ionosphere.  More are due in succession.  Spaceweather.com reports we 
are currently in a geomagnetic storm.  QSB should be quite interesting 
tomorrow.  Hopefully the noise will not overwhelm our signals.  We shall 
see.  Note the time change: local time remains the same (in most parts 
of the US) while the universal time changes.  One day we may shed 
ourselves of Ben's innovation, the US may also turn metric.

Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday  (3 PM PST Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0100z Monday  (5 PM PST Sunday)


73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
