OK, thanks for the report, Kim. We don't have the blue hole over us, but it is looking like it's breaking up, and I think we might see some nice weather. These weather guessers in the home systems are notoriously inaccurate, because they depend primarily just on a barometer. So there's not much analysis that goes on, but I think we're going to have a series of nice days here. This is KB7GL. The name is Vic QTH South Kirkland, the motor vessel Shasta where it is as I mentioned broken clouds right now. I don't see any blue yet But I think we're gonna see some today is looking like the more cloudy day of the next several the next several I think are predicted to be Quite a few sunbreaks so that probably will occur Temperatures 35 here We haven't really changed a lot. I think we're going to get up into the 40s We're not getting that outflow that Jack's getting up in Victoria, so can you get a little bit warmer down here? relatively speaking. The wind is zero. There's just nothing moving out there this morning and the barometer, I wouldn't call it a skyrocket, but it has definitely been increasing. It's been steady. It looks kind of like a blue slope on the ski areas and we're currently at 30.18. Solar stuff, the numbers haven't changed a whole lot. The solar flux is still up in the 160s which is pretty good and the noise is down. It's less than two on the KP index, but there was a big eruption, M-class about a five-point something or other over on the east limb, and it's starting to rotate into view, and that happened yesterday evening. If there was a CME, it will be directed away from Earth, so we won't see any impact from that. Looking at the bands, they look similar to the last few days, but I noticed the noise levels down quite a bit on 20 meters and the others as well. So that's due to that reduction in the K index. So I think overall pretty good day for HF considering the conditions. And when Steve came in for an early he was talking about sunrise and sunsets and yeah we're still in the process of losing daylight in the mornings. We're gaining more in the evenings and we're losing in the mornings but that turns around on January 6th. We start going back the other way in the mornings as well. So we are increasing daylight but the shorter mornings are kind of hindering that a little bit. Okay, moving on to Laura, K-E-7-H-I-P. Good morning. Good morning, Vic and the net. This is K-E-7-H-I-P. The name is Laura. The sailing vessel is ready. OK, that QTH is in South North Beach. Yeah, it's too cold to be out walking at Marymoor Park, but I'm sure the dog misses it. Here we have thin overcast, maybe even some blue sky, maybe lots of blue, hard to tell. The wind here is probably about one to two knots, and I think it's from the north. And looking to the north on the ground, Visibility is OK. The sea space is maybe a light chop. And no critters this morning. This is KU7 HIT.
