 for someone clear for 40m SSB and self-spotting will be useful here.
But remember, it’s all about getting into the great outdoors and having fun. So do remember to have fun. Best of luck with activation #1.
Hi Guru, Thank’s - I’ll happily work 30m to try and make your contact. I’m not 100% sure of my activation time but I would guess around 13:30/14:00 UST but I’ll get a spot up as soon as I know.
As per Andy’s advice I will jump on 2m to begin with and then head over the HF.
Hopefully get to work you tomorrow - I’ll be keying a little slower as I’ll be head copying and making notes (a bit harder than typing copy at the PC!).
That’s fab Ed, thank you. I’ve read the SOTA book on Kindle over Christmas so it’s just trying to retain all the important info until I’m in the swing of things.
Fingers crossed for at least four tomorrow!
Excellent advice all round, Andy. Thank you. I’m going to spot for tomorrow now.
I’ll do as you suggest and start with 2m and then QSY to HF. My biggest apprehension is finding somewhere suitable for the antenna but worst case there are plenty of large rocks to use (!).
It’s a great place so fingers crossed for some nice clear weather.
The trig point is atop a very steep bit of rock up there. But the ground beneath it is all within the 25m activation zone, so don’t feel you have to climb up to it. In fact, probably better if you don’t.
Advice? Get 4 contacts (or more) on 2m FM to start with. Anything after that - other bands/modes/gear etc is a bonus, but entirely unnecessary. Enjoy!
Thanks, Tom. Sound advice which I’ll certainly follow. I remember the trig from the last time (a bit of a vertical climb to the top!) I’ll no doubt be ducking behind a rock away from the wind with the HT!
Let me tell you that you have a nice suffix. In Spanish, SER means TO BE.
I’m not sure I’ll be QRV to try to chase you on 30m tomorrow. If WX is not raining all day as it’s being today, we’ll probably go out somewhere. But the forecast is for more rain tomorrow, so I may be able to chase you. Thanks for trying anyway.
73 and GL AGN.
¡Ha llovido tanto hoy que he decidido ser un pez!Adobe Systems Incorporated (NASDAQ:ADBE) posted second-quarter earnings for fiscal year 2015 after market close on June 16th. The San Jose, California company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.48 on revenue of $1.16 billion, beating the analyst estimate of EPS of $0.45 on revenue of $1.16 billion. During the same time last year, the company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.37 on revenue of $1.07 billion.
The stock saw action in after-market trading following its Q2 report. The company’s shares, although up 18% over the past 12 months, fell nearly 1.2% to $79.30 after the news came out.
The steep decline in product sales is most troubling to some investors. The company did not report how many subscribers it had at the end of the quarter or even the amount of subscribers that were added. These numbers can be used to measure the health of the company.
As a way to pass on some of the cash to shareholders, Adobe decided to purchase about 2.6 million shares in the first quarter. As the company does not pay dividends, they were able to return about $200 million in cash to shareholders.
Adobe’s second quarter media recurring revenue rose to $2.35 billion and added 639,000 relative cloud subscribers in the latest period. The company raised its digital media revenue target for the year to approximately $2.93 billion, but cut the revenue projection, referring to the negative impact of currency fluctuations. The company now aims to achieve $4.85 billion in revenue, down from $4.93 billion.
Brad Zeknick has rated Adobe a total of 4 times with a 75% success rate recommending the stock and a +32.6% average return per recommendation. Overall, he has a 67% rate on recommending stocks and a +23.3% average return per recommendation.
Barnicle has rated the stock 10 times earning an 83% success rate and +21.2% per recommendation. Overall, Barnicle has a 71% success rate recommending stocks and a +16.2% on average return per recommendation.
Samana has rated the stock a total of 6 times, always recommending a Hold. He has a 25% success rate on his overall stock recommendations with an average loss of -5/1% per recommendation.Wednesday, November 12, 2008

Reading
It is Foolproof Machine Quilting by Mary Mashuta. Oh, I have tons of machine quilting books but this one is a little different. It is not about free-motion quilting. It is all about
The second book I am engrossed in is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. The past year or so I have become very interested in where our food comes from, how far away that is, how long it takes to get to my supermarket, how much genetic alteration was involved in growing it, and how much fuel was required to get it to me. With a renewed interest in cooking has come a renewed interest in nutrition and food safety and quality. This book is the story of a family who decided to journey away from the "industrial food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves or learn to live without it." Very. very intriguing reading. And, of course, Kingsolver's writing style is delightful.

Slacker Checks In
Munsell Hue Test. Check your color IQ and arrange blocks of color by hues. Kinda fun in a stalling-tactic kind of way!
It looks to be a GLORIOUS weekend here in KC. The outdoors is calling so I imagine that quilting will still be on the proverbial back burner. It will be good to be away from the TV and all the dire news about investments and America's failing economy. Don't you just really feel helpless about all this? Sounds like a picnic may be in order. Nothing like eating your lunch outdoors among the birds and squirrels to push those nasty thoughts away. Nature's little critters don't seem the least bit concerned about 401K's and money markets!!!

Dying To Dye
The remaining three were just some random shots I took for fun. I enjoyed seeing how she used her handdyes.
I've been tagged! Crazy 'Bout Quilts asked me am an addicted crossword puzzle worker. The day can't really get started for me unless I have done (attempted) the two puzzles in the morning paper. And, I have to admit that the Saturday NY Times puzzle often sends me to Google for help!
2. I have another addiction: COFFEE. When we visited my DS and his SO last weekend, I took along a bag of my own coffee--just in case! I just HAVE to have coffee to start my day off right.
3. I love to watch old sitcoms on TV. If I can ever find a rerun of Newhart (the one set in Vermont in the old inn), I am glued to the set. Also love Mary Tyler Moore, Friends and King of Queens. I am always hopeful that some new shows will come along that are as good as these. It is great therapy to laugh.
4. I am a die-hard Democrat (hope I don't lose readers over that!!!) and my younger son sometimes calls me a hippie tree-hugger LOL! I "came of age" so to speak during the 60s and can't forget how hard some causes were won.
5. My pets (currently two cats) are like members of the family to me. They have free run of the house. They have been known to sleep with us at night and are usually on a lap during the day. They're just such fun.
6. Hmmm...what else? Well, DH and I enjoy picnics and frequently pack a lunch and head to a state park about 35 or 40 minutes away. We love to take long walks and there is a great hiking/biking trail there.
Boring stuff, I know! Now about the tagging of six more people....most of the blogs I read have already done this meme so I'll just say, if ya wanna play along, consider yourself tagged!

Unlaborious Labor Day Weekend
I did find a Jo Morton book, Remembrances, that I couldn't live without. And this new issue of Quilt It for Christmas had some darling projects in it so it had to come home with me too.
