Hi VHFers,
It is Tuesday and I should be heading up to the shack for the evening,
but we are in the middle of the first big snowfall around here. The snow
depth is predicted to be 6-10 inches, which is quite deep for
negotiating the woods road that goes up to the shack. It looks like I
will probably not make it this evening. Heaviest snow is this evening
around activity time. I got up early and was hauling diesel fuel up at 8
AM this morning. The generator fuel tank was very low and so I hauled a
couple of fuel containers with 12 gallons of diesel. It was snowing at
7 am but had not accumulated much and i got the fueling completed. Now
the snow is quiet deep and I am not sure that I can reach the shack.
Temps are in the low 20's and will drop to single digits the rest of the
week.
Activity has been a bit slow on Tuesdays of late as cold weather and
poor condx has thinned the herd a bit. Activity starts around 00:00 UT
on the East Coast. Lots of contacts are made with coordination on the
ON4KST Chat page

Activity spreads out around 222.100 with CW, SSB and FT8 on 222.174.
