and nine KGC from GW8SL. Okay there, Ray, sent me a foxtrot on Christmas Day. I'm going to make an assumption here. That's totally unusual then for your QTH, I'm sure. But I've heard that other places in the U.S. there's going to be really, really high record highs on Christmas Day as well. A couple of nets I was listening to earlier on, but we are going to end up in the Northern Hemisphere like Christmas Day in places like Australia with 40 Charlie and near the 100 degrees foxtrot at the rate we are going. So we are going to say goodbye to snow on Christmas Day. Not that we have actually had much snow on Christmas Day. It is rare we get snow here anyway where I'm located over Christmas. No, we can get it up to the second week of April, normally, but then it's really, really hit and miss. You can't say we are going to get it. We might get an eighth of an inch if we're lucky, but that's about it, but yes, it seems like the hemispheres are actually switching over for the temperature-wise and the seasons are going the seasons are going, all the pot and all the rest of it, and we won't know where we are in a couple of years' time. I'm sure what season it is, because there were day-nighttime temperatures where we normally get a 10 degree C swing. It's now down to about 3 or 4, so something is going on, because as I said earlier, and if you were listening, we currently got 46.2 here and It's past 11 in the evening. So, you know, we should but this time we should be much lower than that We got partial clouded sky as well. So it should be a lot lower But it's not so I don't we'll be having any snow for Christmas here is either the way back to your N9KGC This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November Quebec November all star node 6222 located in Shelton Washington. Yeah well it's pretty strange Dave everywhere I mean the weather it is some unusual weather activity over the past couple years so I don't know what to make of it really but another strange thing we may have talked about this a few weeks ago I don't know but for all the hurricane activity over the past several years, you know, we've had more hurricanes and more severe hurricanes than ever, right, over the past several years. This year, we had none make landfall in the United States. No hurricane damage in the United States this hurricane season. So that's kind of weird because the trend was going the other way and And it was predicted to be, I believe everybody expected it to be another bad hurricane season. Not one. Very strange. But yeah, this temperature for Christmas Day would be very unusual. They had a, I haven't, I have not lived here my whole life, but there was a 68 degree temperature on record for Christmas Day several years ago. 68 was the high. So I guess if it really reaches 70, it will be a new record. We'll see. Other than that, like I say, not a whole lot happening. I'm going to try to get on HF tomorrow again, or maybe even tonight. It's only 530 here. See what's happening on 40 meters, and maybe try to log a few more of these 12 Days of Christmas event stations. They all have W2 call signs, just three characters except the one by one but they're all W2 prefix. So we'll see. I'm going to see what happens with all that. Before you know it, days will be getting longer. That's the other comment I was going to make. Today is the 19th. I think the 21st should be the short day and the next three days three days are about the same, right? There's no measurable difference. But by the 26th, the days will be getting longer. So we got through the shortest days already. Happened pretty quick. Be springtime before you know it, and I'm ready for it. All right, I'm going to give it back to you, Dave. I'm going to get back to listening. I think it's almost supper time here. We're going to be eating here shortly. So I'll get back to monitoring, and thanks for doing the net. And I missed Graham's portion of it. I wasn't on for most of this, so if Graham's still out there, I'll say hello, and whoever else might be, but I missed the beginning of the net, so I'll say seven, three days, and I will be here listening from N9, KG say.
