Radio Transcription

KU7HIP N7LRE

Thanks Vic and thanks as usual for all of the propagation information. Yesterday I was out in the shop and I turned the radio out there on and 10 meters was quite active. And maybe it's because I have a 1482 track vertical and it's just sitting on the ground. I have no ground plane there so I depend on the actual ground conductivity. This time of year it's great, so I get a good SWR, but in the summertime when the ground is dry, I got a terrible SWR. So this is a good time to be running out there in the shop. Anyway, KU7HIP, Laura. Good morning, Bob and Manette. This is KU7HIP. And as Laura's sitting vessel is ready down to the Asian South North Beach, we had quite a bit of rain. It's not currently raining. The sky seems to be light overcast, maybe a blue sky. It's hard to tell. But the wind has increased quite a bit. It's terribly blowing. Maybe just seems that 11 to 12 knots in the south-south east. Let's see, looking to the north, Pacific Island Sound is OK, and the sea state is going to be light, moderate, top, and no triggers, which is K-E-7, H-I-Q. Hey, thanks Laura. OK, I'm supposed to go to Henry next, he's in Port Townsend, but he's off on Sunday. So Henry, if you're listening, break in or check in as a visitor later. This takes us to Mary, N7LRE, Blue Ridge.
