[SADXA] Temporarily QRT

[n7wbjohn]

Interesting Wes ... down here on the border in DM51, camera picked up a
family of four racoons, apparently mom, pop and two juniors,

I was as surprised as you were to see racoons. They got most of our pears
and figs.

At least one is still around at night.

About a month or so ago the dog and I found  a good sized *possum* dead on
the road. At first, I really could not believe what I was seeing.

73 from N7WB Merry Christmas ! Happy New Year
