Spare a thought for us in the Southern Hemisphere.
Temps at my QTH will run 105F/43C and the tropical summer thunderstorms blot
out any idea of decent DX until at least the equinox in March.
Imagine eating my Christmas turkey in that heat - only saving is the lovely
local champagne at $3 a bottle that will be carefully chilled.

A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
AND A HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR

Happy Solstice Holiday to everyone. Today we ask the Great Spirit to bring
the
Sun back to warm Mother Earth.

The solstice ocurs at 1835 GMT.

And remember, the days will be getting longer, so the time to snag that
low-band
DX is NOW!

Same to you and yours John! Only three more months and you can enjoy
the dx'ing again, that will be about the time the noise level starts
back up around here.

Send me a plane ticket, and I won't have to imagine.
