Jimmy,

  It was me, and that is true. It also depends on the decreasing amount of
sunlight, the temperatures, and the amount of rainfall, on when the leaves
start turning, and if the fall foliage is spectacular, or a dud. :P

 JA> I'm also ready for COOL weather, but not cold. :-)

  A strong cold front moved through Arkansas earlier today...with some
severe thunderstorm warnings southeast of Little Rock for 60 mph winds,
and half dollar sized hail. We won't get out of the 70's again until
Friday. Has anyone heard what the wooly worms are predicting for the
winter?? I need to go buy the new Farmers Almanac for its winter outlook,
although I tend to go with what the National Weather Service says.

  I spent the last 10 days off the air, because the registry for the Lenovo 
Windows 10 laptop had gotten severly corrupted...and I couldn't do D-Star. 
The only modes I could do were Echolink, Packet Via Telnet, D-Rats, and 
Winlink 2000. But, I've got to reinstall those programs to get them 
working again. At least I can do D-Star again with the BlueDV program.

  Sadly, except for nets, repeaters are dead as a doornail.
