Good morning, Dan and the gang. This is KB7GL. The name is Vic QTH South Kirkland motor vessel Shasa Similar conditions here. We are overcast. It's still pretty dark out there looking out to the east. It's a little brighter but it's still fairly dark right here. I was looking at the radar and Looks like all the activities over on the coast and extending up into the Victoria area Because there's just not much over here in the Seattle area. I think there's supposed to be a chance for some rain but we may or may not get it, and then it should be a nice weekend. Looks like some sun coming for the weekend. We got, let's see, .35 inches in the last 24 hours in the rain gauge, and since midnight we've only got .01, which indicates just one bucket dump. So I don't think we're going to see much more today. Forty-one degrees here, a little warmer than yesterday. It was in the upper 30s when I got up, up. It's already starting to warm up. A couple of knots of wind up south right now. Really not much moving and the barometer had been falling. It's been flat for three or four hours now at 29.60. Solar numbers, everything is pretty much similar to yesterday except for the solar index. It's gone up quite a bit. It's up to 163, so that's encouraging. The bands are pretty similar to what they were yesterday. Not a lot of activity. I did hear about a six meter opening on the east coast, which those are rare. When they pop open, you've got to be there and then they're gone, but I did hear about a six meter opening. Haven't had one out here for a while that I'm aware of, but all the other bands are about the same. Again, 40 meters right now has got all the major activity on it, both the single side band and CW. There are some increasing sun spots showing up though, there's three new ones that are growing. So we've got about seven or eight active sun spot regions so things may start increasing as they swing in from the east limb towards the earth. Everybody have a great day after, this is KB7GL. Thank you Vic. The other thing preventing, impeding people from getting onto 6 meters is the lack of an antenna. It happens so seldom up there that committing resources to an antenna is something you gotta be committed. Alright, enough. K-E-7-H-I-P, Laura. Good morning. Good morning, Dan and Manette. This is K-E-7-H-I-P. My name is Laura. That's already ready. That situation is South North Beach. Where this morning we had 100% clouds. I did see a little bit of blue sky this morning. That situation is South North Beach, where this morning we had 100% clouds. I did see a little bit of blue skies this morning, but it's been filled in with clouds now. The wind here is blowing maybe a steady 7 to 8 knots. To the north, visibility on the ground is okay. This cannot make that sea state. We've had some rain in the last 24 hours, but it's not currently raining. And no critters this morning. This is T7HIP.
