Good morning Bob and Lynette and happy Christmas to all. This is KB7GL, the name is Vic 2TH South Kirkland, Motor Vessel Shasa. And it's a pretty decent morning here. We don't have anything coming out of the sky. We're completely overcast, we've got good visibility. I think there's a little rain scheduled for later today and for the next day after that. The weekend looks great. Maybe a three day break here, three or four day break. might see some more sunshine. It's a little cooler than it was yesterday, 38 degrees right now. There's no wind. What there was was out of the north. I guess that system just continues to move north of us. It didn't cause much activity here.

A lot of single sideband nets going on this morning on 40 meters. I listened to two or three of those and a lot of 40 meter activity and of course the upper part of the 40 meter hand band is just It's loaded with the shortwave broadcast stations right now. Everybody have a nice Christmas and enjoy the holiday. This is KB7GL.
