Soapbox: 

Never a dull moment.  Approximately
2 hours before NSL a fire broke out
half a mile from our home after a car
with faulty cat converter set 9 fires
along the road.  One spur came up the
mountain toward our QTH, passing
through adjacent vineyards and forest.
 We shut the house tight (4 hour burn
rating, took pics and watched the
CalFire helicopters and tankers do
their thing.  Then 45 mins before NS
we drove down the road to thank the
CALFIRE crews and meet our neighbors
whose home was spared fortunately.  At
1925 I raced up the hill (1.2 miles
and 800 feet up) just in time to be 5
mins late for NSL and shaking like a
leaf.  Sorry for QLF CW to some of the
early Q's.  Bob, K6NV, showed up on
post contest net and advised on
appropriate rewards for the CDF
(Calfire) folks . . basically food.


Great conditions on 20.. . but
amazed anyone can hear me with such a
feeble antenna.  Now have 3 weeks to
sort things out a little.  Next NSL on
July 11 (FD and 4th of July holiday
break).
