[IRCA] OCT 9 TAs

OCT 9

In case you missed me, I spent a week hiking down into the Grand Canyon, 
experiencing a few more thrills and chills than normally happen seated in 
front of my radio.  Well, OK, there are howling winds in Newfoundland, and I 
once had to retrieve an antenna wire along a cliff above the pounding surf. 
But the Canyon is a death zone if one is unprepared.  Many people have died 
for underestimating simple hydration needs.   For those who are into such 
things, we climbed down on the South Rim's Boucher Trail and climbed up the 
Hermit Trail, 21 miles, 3800' descent/ascent, temperatures varied between 50 
and 100 degrees.  There were two days of pounding thunderstorms, and we 
spent a fair amount of time hiding under ledges, watching the few water 
sources turn into surges of red mud.  A huge challenge, but a great 
experience!

I missed all of the tests from last week.
