Good Evening,

    Autumn is proceeding.  Leaves falling allow more sun to hit the 
forest floor.  This brings the mushrooms out, then the birds which fluff 
up the leaf, needle, and fern clutter.  I noticed an oddly colored bird 
in a tree.  Then I recognized him; he was not in the usual location, you 
don't normally see Varied Thrush from below.  When the forest floor 
dries out between showers flocks of them work in expanding rings 
fluffing up the forest clutter. Robins come along in a second wave to 
take advantage of any exposed multi-legged creatures.  The mushrooms are 
uncovered too.

    The sun is quite active this week.  A series of CMEs have either 
hit, or are still on the way.  There should be aurora tonight but cloud 
cover won't let me check.  There will be periods of G1 level solar 
storms over the next day.  Expect a moderate level of noise and a goodly 
amount of QSB, nothing unusual :) Comet Lemmon is near its closest 
approach to earth.  Binoculars will help but are not required.  The 
solar storms are shaking its tail.


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,
