Kd2he/ve3 toronto

What’s out there?
I’m hoping to finding some time to update the blog now that I have somewhat settled here in Canada. Aside from the usual operations on 40 ssb with the Knuckleheads I have been active on 17 meters in the afternoon as well as 30 meters at around european sunrise. I’m looking forward to more activity on 10 meters when conditions improve. I’ll share some photos of the antenna set up here on the 23rd floor of my building.  That’s about 75 meters above the street. (250 feet) Hope to see you on the air soon.  73   VIctor KD2HE/VE3

Salmon Loaf French Canadian recipes from W4VR’s Cookbook

1 can Alaskan Salmon, or 1 Salmon filet

3 medium Potatoes

Cook potatoes, drain, and hand smash…add a little milk, salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Cook the Salmon filet skin up in microwave oven in covered dish for a few minutes…if the Salmon has skin on take off after cooking. Crush the Salmon filet with a fork. Add one egg, a few bread or cracker crumbs, oil, Dijon Mustard, chopped onions, salt and pepper. You can also add Parsley, or even Curry powder if you want…my mother put Curry in her recipe. Also add some lemon juice and milk…the crumbs will absorb the moisture. Put the smashed potatoes on top of the Salmon mixture and add the potatoes on top, smoothing with a fork. Add a few crumbs on top of the potatoes and put a few slivers of butter over the crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees uncovered for about 30 minutes or until top is golden brown….if not turn on broiler for 2 minutes.

Propagation Differences

I’ve noticed that the propagation reports all seem to report different solar flux and k numbers. Who’s reports are more accurate. When there is an upswing in the solar activity I would like to know who to turn to for the most accurate report.

HRD gives the SF at 131 and the K at 1

Spaceweather.com reports 148 with the K at 1

DX QSL.net currently reports 149 and K at 2
