KE7GCT KE7HIP KV7GL

Good morning, Commodore Roger and the Net. This is KD7 GCP. The name is Kim. The QTH is Rancho Mirage, California. We've got a just stunningly beautiful morning, a lot of fresh snow in the mountains in the distance. We've got 80% blue sky and sunshine. Ironically, the barometer is exactly where it has been the last three days in a row, 30.00. The temperature is 55. It's down a little bit. The moon is almost full and getting ready to set to the west. Motor vessel name is Bella V. The humidity here is 82%. Hope everyone has a great week coming up, KE7GCT. Well, thank you for that report, Kim. I know it's higher humidity than I would have thought it was in the desert. I guess we'll have to pay more attention. Thank you, Kim. We'll hear from you tomorrow. Let's move on to KV7GL. Good morning Roger and the Net, this is KV7GL, the name is Vic QTH South Kirkland, Motor Vessel Shasta. Well we've got the weather here, or at least we're on the trail edge of it. Looking at the radar, the only real significant patch of weather is right here in the Seattle area and most of it is east of us now. We had sunshine yesterday, it was a beautiful afternoon, and then it started raining again and it rained pretty much steady all night, I could hear it coming down on the roof. It was more than just a light rain, but it looks like we're on a trail edge now and I think we're going to have some sunshine here pretty soon. We're still overcast, although it's starting to break up just in the last couple of minutes and starting to get lighter to the south. I think probably if I could see north it would be even lighter up there, but my view of the south right now, and that's where most of the weather is, is south of Seattle and moving to the east. We got, out of the storm that came through the whole system, we got about 1.6 inches out of it. Since midnight, we've had 0.3 in the electronic tuna can. More than a miss, but not too bad. The temperature is 42 degrees, the visibility is limited, but I think that's going to change here pretty soon. The relative humidity is up at 98 percent, I was looking at the dew point and the wet They are both at 41 so just one degree behind the outside temperature of 42 and the barometer has been rising at a fairly steady if not super fast rate at 29.85. Solar numbers, there's not much going on right now. It's just really quiet. My sources at NOAA and solar ham and other places that I get all my info from, just everything is quiet right now. Same with the number of sun spots out there. There hasn't been a real measurable solar flare for about, oh, going on three days now. The coronal hole that showed up over off the northeast limb is still moving towards us but it's not aimed at us yet so there's no increase in the solar wind. The bands all look pretty good, 10 meters, doesn't seem to have any activity right now but I heard reports yesterday that some people said, well, 10 really sucked and others say, I've got some pretty good DX on it, so 10 is kind of like 6. You've got to be there when it happens, and it can be pretty good when it's there. So I think pretty much all the HF bands are good. The solar flux is down a little bit to 157, and the noise of the planetary K index is up to 2.7, quite a bit higher than yesterday, but it's still not too bad, and it looks like the forecast is for decreasing K index, so all looking pretty good on HF. Talk to you, Roger. Everybody have a great Monday. Every day is a Saturday to me here. 73 KP7 GL. Well, yeah, that sounds like it might be for several people on the net, I suppose. For identification, this is KK7 RDW, Roger. Running the radio net this morning. Now let's move on down to Laura at KE7HIP.
