Seems to be quite some activity on the radio, 10 meters opened up into Russia, seems they are having quite some time with the Forest fires, they have some California Jump teams coming in to help. Siberia is peat moss and burns when dry and hot.
Salmon Fishing runs are starting and the season is on.
BTW-we are trying to get a repeater up at Port Fourchon on 2 meters (145MHZ VHF Ham Band)
