Yeah, we're holding to ours too. Bigger boat would be nice, but I'd have to be looking for more age. I like where we are there at Maiden, but this is so close. Well good morning Roger and the Net. This is KB7GL. The name is Vic QTH South Kirkland Motor Vessel Shasa, nicely residing at Maiden Bower Bay Marina. The conditions here are dry. We haven't had any precipitation since, well, a couple days ago. Everything's, the deck's dry. There's nothing in the gauge. We're overcast. We've got some of that stuff that Kim talked about. I can actually see some bright spots out to the south, and we had a fairly thin spot overhead, I think, that might have turned blue had it stayed there, but it's moved on, but I think we're going to see some sunshine today. Looking at the radar, it's just kind of scattered stuff all over. Looks like a lot of unstable air out there for flying. But that'll be fairly decent conditions here on the ground. The temperature is, or the visibility is good. I can see the lights over in Seattle. So we get good vis at least seven miles. Temperature is 42 degrees, not too much different from yesterday. We don't have any of that wind that you guys are talking about. We're zero, which we typically are here. What we had was out of the south. but right now the anemometer is bored. And the barometer's been rising fairly rapidly over the last 12 hours. It just flattened out a couple hours ago at 29.82. The solar stuff is about the same as it was yesterday. The solar, the coronal stream arrived a little bit earlier as I'd mentioned yesterday. It kind of surprised everybody. So the K index is up a little bit and there's a possibility of it going even a little bit higher. It's not CME, it's just a higher coronal stream coming out of the holes that are facing us right now. But there's not a big expectation that anything exciting is gonna happen. There's only five active sunspot regions up there that are visible right now. So things are slowing down a little bit. But the solar flux jumped up a little bit more. It's up to 124, so it's not a big increase, but at least it's going in the right direction. I'm seeing a typical activity from 21, or from 15 meters, 21 megahertz, on down to 40. I didn't look at 80 for CW, but 40 CW is really booming this morning. So if you got your general class license, that's a great place to be. And Roger, I'd mentioned, we talked about PAM earlier, and PAM is going to be off on Friday, so a note got sent out yesterday, I can take Friday if nobody else wants it, no big deal there. and I'll take Friday and Saturday. And I will send a note out to everybody, just as a reminder about Pat and Keith. That's it from Kirkland. Everybody have a great day. This is KB7GL. All-star, node 6222. And good morning, Vic, and good morning, and thanks for that report, which, by the way, is quite a bit different from just a short distance away, but quite a bit different than our weather here on the western edge of Mongolia. Okay, Laura, it would be your turn at K-E-7-H-I-P. Good morning, Roger. I'm in Episuit, K-E-7-H-I-P. My name is Laura. Sailing vessel is ready just to engage in south-north beach. Where this morning, we have overcast, but it is a little bit broken. There was some rain early this morning, so everything is still wet out. The wind here is about to the north. Physically on the town is okay and the sea state is a light ripple. And no critters except I have the dog here that wants to be on the radio. This is K-7 H-I-T. Well, you've got to get that dog a radio license, I suppose, Laura. This is K-K-7 R-D-W for identification. And next up would be Henry. Let's go to Port Townsend. W-1 H-K-S.
