HF #Propagation Report - Over the next few hours, a coronal mass ejection is expected to arrive, which is likely to trigger magnetic storms. Solar activity is moderate, with further M-flares likely, as well as isolated X-flares (M 65% X 15% Proton 15%). #spaceweather #hamradio #hamr

Something else every thoughtful person understands.
Removing low cost workers from the market for services will endanger wealthy people's property.
Where owners need lots of forest and thicket maintenance for fire suppression.
Some of us can't afford $800/hr for a crew, tools and machines.

The perfect foil for the cling-on associate who's fishing for a holiday invitation to dinner.
"Oh hey, yeah! Come on over, man. We're binge watching movies on the Hallmark channel all day!"

A quiet day here. Thoughts of fam and others... Be well.
The season is upon us and the world knows only how to crank it up more than last. My prayer for anyone who will listen is to find the slow lane and let it all pass by.
Pity travelers and shame on retailers who'd distract us with bargains.

Place National Guard in harm’s way for no good reason. Two members are tragically and unnecessarily shot. The reckless regime’s response: We’re sending 500 more National Guard troops! What a disgrace.

Nice trans-pacific conditions for #hamradio right now. Just called CQ (looking for a contact) using 10 watts (lightbulb power) on the 15 meter band from here in Seattle and got good contacts from Indonesia and Japan.

Politics of fear: @schumer.senate.gov, Master.
My gut reaction to the call for his resignation? Pre-calculated, simplistic whiplash.
The real trick to stirring up the electorate is fomenting opposition blame. Invisibly.
Health care issues will drive liberals to the polls. Go Chuck.

Recently operated a station for a big foot race. Attended the pre-race operations briefing breakfast.
Three days later? Covid (my first time, yeah.) Wife has it too now. It's our 40th Anniversary.
It's been a week. Still very puny. So bored I'm reading my spam folder. 😂

On pace.
How often do we find that as fast as we can, isn't fast enough? Being over-paced is corrosive, a slow burn you don't notice.
When have we ever gone slowly, as comfort requires?
When have you ever gone as slow as you can. Chill.
It's the same with wealth. Perhaps they are reciprocals.

After decades of accumulating the shop tools, retiring and subsequently hearing nothing but #Bucketlist comments. OK well … every old guy should have a chance to remodel a cottage. Bucket list - checked off soon.

A long list of ARES repeater definitions for our region arrived via email. A PDF.
I scraped & cleaned to .CSV table. Imported to CHIRP & cloned some radios.
Love to help, but no one listens. Old guys, fumbling at #hamradio buttons... 😂 seldom get it right. Always get frustrated.

Here's the paywall.
No, seriously ... Fundamentally? This is NOT real faith. Pay to play? Another rich "pastor." Ugh.
