So after a small delay, we have finally moved into the new location. It’s decent. I’m happy and I think nick is too. It’s relatively inexpensive, and has enough room for both of us and our stuff.

Photos and more details tomorrow!

Hurricane Earl – Final

Hurricane Earl was downgraded to a Tropical Storm shortly before making it’s Cape Cod brushing, and actually steered away from Maine as it got into the gulf. Tropical Storm watches were in effect for our area but were dropped before the storm approached, and we saw no gusty winds or extremely heavy rain that night.

Saturday morning all was normal.

Although the storm turned out to be a near miss with no impact, preparations were made just in case. This is an excellent opportunity for those in Amateur Radio to check their gear and make tests to verify their rigs, gear and emergency power all function within specs. The last thing anybody wants is to get into the heart of an emergency and find out their equipment doesn’t work.

Until the next one,

The forecast track for Earl hasn’t changed much. But the forecasted strength has been lowered a bit.

The forecast track moved slightly eastward taking Maine out of the 3 day cone. But we are still expected to receive tropical storm conditions and a tropical storm watch has been posted for the coastline of Maine to nova scotia Canada where a hurricane watch is in effect.

More to come.
