On Thursday, (Thanksgiving for the rest of the world), we hit -70 F! I tried to get the North Star to line up with the tower on top of the Greenhouse.
When we get wind out of the north the generator exhaust is blowing towards the clean air sector. When this happens we can't take air samples, or drive any equipment unless we are very low on water or there is an emergency.
My Dad was flying over the Atlantic today and was going to be about ~1300 miles south of us. I gave him the the HF radio frequency that we use and we tried to use the HF radio to contact him as he flew by. We actually heard him calling us!! We tried to reply but it turns out our HF radio system was not high enough power to reply. Still very exciting to use the radio for something and have it actually sort of work!!
I cook every Thursday. This week I made lasagna, it was tasty!
