Winter? What winter? One could ask after experiencing an October with one - 1 - day with sub-zero temperatures. I could have driven here with summer tyres without problems had I wanted to. Unheard of at 71N. But winter cold will come, eventually. So, I have to cut the external water tubing, empty and remove the pressurized water tank in the basement (which will freeze), and move food and beverages that can freeze into the living room which should be above zero even during the coldest winter days. I have a few 25-litre water tanks to help me when I visit here during winter.
All of that will be done tomorrow Sunday though. Today I'm going through recordings from the past few days, which prove to be very interesting indeed with new stations logged! But with the clear weather outside I decided to take a quick photo session with my Pixel. Below are the best ones in my opinion (you won't see the other ones anyway...)

| The waxing Moon is 14° above the southern horizon, 81% illuminated. Nice reflection off the beach. The Aurora is to the south of us, not a good sign. |
 |
| Yes, this is the KONG-HQ, traces of Aurora. |

Finally, a photo of my part of the radio equipment.

| 3 x PCs (one Dell MFF, two Intel NUC), 3 x Perseus (+ one in reserve), 5 external HDDs, power supplies, splitters, preamps. Ethernet for everything that needs to communicate. RSPdx/RSPdxR2, PC, HDDs not visible. |
