[SADXA] Temporarily QRT

[D Dismachek]

 I can attest that there are racoons in my area. I have a trail cam looking at the bottom of my tower. I get all kinds of animals passing by. One day I caught a video of a racoon nosing around the base of my tower and he then climbed it. I put an aluminum plate on the back side of the tower to keep him from climbing.

 In the chase for TO9W QSOs I was derailed last night by a power outage.  We are 
on Trico Electric and had a widespread, many hours long outage.  The cause?  A 
raccoon crawled into the substation.

I've been in Tucson for 75 years and haven't ever seen a raccoon in the valley 
until a couple of weeks ago when I saw a dead one on the road in Saguaro NP West.

Interestingly, the same day I was loading some stuff in the car so I had the 
door to the driveway open and came out of the house on one trip and had a little 
critter in the garage.  He practically climbed on my foot.  At first thought it 
appeared to be a baby coatimundi.  I know those don't live here either, but 
considering the raccoon I figured anything was possible.  I scooted him into a 
live trap I have and did some more research.  Eventually identified him as a 
ferret.

A canvas of the neighborhood revealed that the next door neighbor owned him and 
didn't even know he was missing.
