Well not exactly dismal.  Wind damage up here in Alaska is going to take=
 some time to repair - roof shingles are loose/lost, multiple trees down=
 and sub zero F deg temps means radio antennae are taking a back seat.
=20
I did repair the K9AY and started to fling cables over trees but lost the=
 feeling in the fingers and face in the wind so had to stop for a while.=
 I must be getting old cos this hasnt been an issue in for me in the Polar=
 regions for the past 35 years.

Long haul LF/MF over the pole arent good at the moment either and even my=
 dx'y beacons to Russia arent that strong. Europe DCF39 is some 35dB down=
 on what it could be - given the geomag/lat the delta variation on over th=
e pole shots at LF is far greater than more temperate latitudes. Some smal=
l hit from the sun and any proton amount can zap us up here for days on en=
d. I am looking South also towards VK/ZL which is far less affected.
=20
=20
Ive installed the new computer and seems stable enough save the dang USB=
 to Serial interfaces driving the radios which are a mainstay on my remote=
 operations. Ill be deploying the VLF loop and RX before I leave and now=
 have a few internal and external 24 bit sound cards to choose from.  Give=
n the weather the 137 and 500 TX's will be staying offline - probably.

Anyway good to be home for the festive season - vy 73 to all and your fami=
lies -
