In juli I took some hortensia cuttings and rooted them in a glass of water. Today I potted them up in some compost!

They will be growing in there over the next season and will be planted put next fall hopefully!

What is on my mind?

Spring in the garden.

And things I need to plant now that we have night time temperatures above 5c. Hopefully the last frost of the season.

Spot of reading leads me back to comfrey as something I should plant about now.

Had some in the garden out the back, probably time to plant more.

Something I just learned, you can propagate them from root cuttings; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4GiBaeKdJ4

This weekend was a little meh on 10 meters. The propagation was just not there really, and I only managed to get 3 SSB contacts. The rest are all FT8/FT4, and ehh. Even that was slow. Hopefully whatever is going on with the atmosphere clears up for next weekend.

Everyone wants to find a way to propagate the ecologically important Hawai'i native tree 'ohi'a lehua (metrosideros polymorpha), but 'ohi'a lehua knows exactly where it wants to grow: 15 feet in the air, on top of a shipping container in the jungle, on the rotting 2x4 holding some solar panels. Just LOOK at how many 'ohi'a keiki were growing out of @saltphoenix 's solar setup:

(FYI, I gently pulled them out - along with their clumps of moss and leaf litter - and @saltphoenix and I split them between ourselves so we could both try to grow them down here on the ground 😅)

And if you'd like to read a little bit about why 'ohi'a lehua is so important, check out: https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/forestry/plants/ohia-lehua/

This was one crazy weekend for 10m amateur bands! I'm actually having a hard time coming up with things to say about it other than wow! Here's a map of all the contacts I made from Western PA. Yeah, just wow!

This is second time the WSPR skip distances peak just at same time/before the solar storm hits earth's ionosphere.

Radio Exterior de Espana, 2nd Chinese Service Edition

Picture Original

REE Chinese had only rebroadcast their September 1 program seven days later, on September 8, but last night, September 15, they carried something new: a program on southern Spain, mainly about Andalusia, its history and some folk customs, and a short portrait of Andalusia-born singer Joaquín Sabina.

And while the first two once-a-week transmissions were disappointing, this one is really the kind of programs that I had hoped for.

What is missing is the news, but it probably wouldn’t make much sense to include those in a service that only airs once a week.

And they still haven’t posted the podcast of this latest program, although it has probably been ready since Saturday. 🤦 That’s so much the worse as shortwave propagation on the higher frequencies was bad last night (Sept 15). For a variety of reasons, this program probably didn’t have as many listeners as it could have had, and as it would deserve.
