Listening to the kfs kiwi and windy it'd doing well this AM. While it's much more fun to hear it on the degen when I'm traveling out west, it's nice to be able to log out from the east.

Windy is going to be starved for sunlight today but should get at least partially sunny days after that.

Windy heard 1112 UTC 12 Mar 2020 with normal telemetry. Too weak and too much storm QRN to copy, however.

I think I heard telemetry from Windy at 1046 UTC 24 Mar 2020, but the signal was weak and lots of static.
