[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Folks,

You are cordially invited to participate in the Elecraft CW Net this week.  This is a very informal net to get folks acquainted with one another and with the band 
conditions.  After the net please feel free to contact anyone you could hear during the net.  Except me that is :)  I am normally pretty frazzled at that point and go 
work in the garden.  I normally run around 13 - 15 wpm but some of the relay stations have been known to go a mite faster :)  

I just checked the ARRL site and found there are no contests on its calendar so I will stick with the usual frequencies.   I will call the net first as "Elecraft Net" and 
then  alternate this with "ECN".  If you are called upon to relay check ins please feel free to shorten the name to ECN.   ECN = Elecraft CW Net

Saturday at 6 PM PDT (Sunday at 0100 z) I will run the Elecraft CW Net on 20  meters 14050 kHz or if that's  busy I'll move up until I find a spot for us to  use.  If 
you would like to check in without comments just add QRU.

Then at 7 PM PDT (Sunday at 0200 z) I will start at 7050 kHz and move up until  I find an open spot,  avoiding the Canadian SSB net on 7055 kHz.

During each of these nets I'll ask a  station to call for check ins.  Just relay them back and we'll see  how  many folks we can gather.   Then I'll ask the relay station 
to ask their check ins to relay one  step further.

I'll post the results here when my K2 has cooled and I get in from the garden.

73,
     Kevin.   KD5ONS   (Net control operator 5th class).
