Notes: The plan was to Hike the Blue Hills today. These plans were cancelled when we got to the entrance (Wampatuck Road) the road was closed. There was a sheet of ice on the road near the gate. Scary. Seems the the Blue Hills was affected by the ice storms from last week. We when back home and did a nice walk around Black Creek in Quincy, MA.

It was fun to observe a duck showing off in front of his Friends. He was walking on the ice. On the radio I could hear fellow hams chatting about how great the new Waltham 900 Mhz repeater is working. I noticed a very large improvement. Kudos to the folks who did the work on the repeater.
