If you've been following the weather for the U.S. The northwest has 
taken what many would call a pasting.

The trees have an extraordinary accumulation of snow, and there is 
no sign of melting.,so I expect to have some broken branches around 
the yard.

The temperature outside when I went outside was 22 degrees, the same 
as when I got home. There is absolutely no wind so I do not 
anticipate much melting today. The skies are all gloomy.

Last night we took a power hit that dumped overything, as the UPS 
batteries could not carry the load for the time of the outage.

I was traveling to Seattle to retrieve a friend from Swedish 
Hospital who had undergone spine surgery this past Monday. Swedish 
wanted their bed back and I volunteered to go and get her.

I did not get back until after midnight and did not have the energy 
to wander out to the radio room..

Everything is back up and running, but we are shy our regular feed 
from Tom Tillson, so give us a couple of hours and we will find 
something for the wires.

Happy Winter, Everyone

As I type this WLO's signal isery faint in the back ground, totally 
uncopyable.

There is some RTTY activity around 14085 to 14090 on 20 meters

I'll put my receiver such that mark is at 14087.625, and the 
transceiver is on the beam pointed a bit south of due east so if 
anyone copying this wants to chat, I'll hear you.
