    damn this wind

    Wind here is INSAINE, so far peak gust of 63MPH. lost power twice so far, and I think every tree around the city is getting pushed into the power lines causing all kinds of havoc on my receiver...

    the power arcing not only takes out HF but its actually making a ton of noise on UHF/440. making it a bit hard working the MO QSO party

    It appears that that weather came east and hit us last night about 1:30 AM. It started off with a strong thunderstorm accompanied by a considerable amount of hail. The winds were gusting out of the west/nw during the thunderstorm and the wind swept hailstones were pounding on my window. Since I generally keep my window open about an inch or two the hail hit against the window sill and bounced inside as I awoke to the crash of thunder and cold wind and pellets of ice hitting me in the face. After the storm passed it rained for a while and then the rain changed to sleet and by morning a light snow. Now it's just clear and windy. There is still frozen ice and hail on my windowsill.. And just a few days ago it was near 80 deg. Personally I don't mind this cold, I prefer the cold to heat and humidity. But for those anxious for spring warmth it ain't happening. Winter is back for at least a few more days.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Currently sunny and 76°F here in San Diego County.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    This is God's way of punishing America for 7200.

    If we're transmitting on 13.310, we deserve to be punished.
