Wednesdays snow has finally melted… Just a few snowbanks (where the plows deposited the parking lot snow) and they seem to be departing very quickly… The forcast (best guess) for today is overcast with temps around 7 deg C (thats 45 deg F in American) . The key part of the forcast however is they think its going to be dry and above freezing… Seeing that we are not going to get many more days this year where I can walk to the park and set up to play radio without the need for a Parka and Mukluks (warm style of winter boots) I am getting the urge to charge up the battery on the FT817 and head out around noon to stretch the Par End Fed QRP Multiband antenna from a tree branch and take advantage of the good band conditions and the above average weather conditons.
I’ll do some listening from home before I plan to leave and if the bands seem open and the weather is still cooperating I think a walk to Starbucks with a walk to Weston Park right after could the activity of the day…
