Good Evening,

    Yesterday I read, "After three days blowing faster than 700 km/s, 
the solar wind is slowing down.  Intermittent G1-class geomagnetic 
storms registered on Nov. 25-27 will now subside, setting the stage for 
a quiet weekend."  I checked spaceweather.com again today, "A 
potentially dangerous sunspot is emerging over the sun's southeastern 
limb.  Yesterday, while it was still partially eclipsed by the edge of 
the sun, it produced an impulsive M6-class solar flare.  A pulse of 
extreme ultraviolet radiation from this flare ionized Earth's upper 
atmosphere, producing a minor shortwave radio blackout over the South 
Pacific Ocean.  Radio transmissions at frequencies below 20 MHz 'browned 
out' around 22:22 UTC on Nov. 28th."  Expect the unexpected :)

    I awoke to clear, cold, sunny skies today.  It has been foggy and 
stormy all week.  A few sunny days will be nice.  A last chance to prune 
things back before the snow falls.  I have not heard heavy equipment 
hauling trucks this week.  They must have it all their gear in place.  
In a week or two there will be a stream of log trucks of fir, cedar, and 
hemlock logs on their way through Vernonia.  Big news: Banks, Oregon now 
has TWO stop lights.  Wow.


Please join us on (or near):

73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
