Good Day Folks,
Another week has passed and it is time to announce the Elecraft CW Net for this weekend.
The day and format will be changing but the time and frequency will not differ from previous nets.
Sunday at 6 PM PDT (0100 Monday for the UTC folks) I will run the Elecraft CW Net on 20 meters at 14050 kHz or if that is busy I'll move up until I find a spot for
us to use.
If you check in immediately with QRU you will be put on the list but I won't call on you during the request and comment stage. Unless, of course, you are situated
in a part of the US or Canada which needs a relay operator :) Then you are fair game. This week I want folks to make requests for contacts they may desire from
the list of check ins. I will facilitate your working each other to get counties, states, provinces, serial numbers, or what ever else you may think of. We will try to
relay as many stations as we can from both coasts, from the heart land, and if we are lucky some DX stations. I heard there was an 8P trying to check in last
week and there is a request from a YS3 to make the attempt. If we all keep our ears open we may have some fun with DX. I will make the request now: if you
hear a station I don't please relay it back to me. Then maybe some of you can take a shot at getting a DX K1/K2 contact.
Remember, there will be no 40 meter net this week. All our eggs are in the 20 meter basket. I will run it until either I drop or we get that last check in. If I start
failing be prepared for me to pass the baton and become NCS for ECN. The laurels are great :) (Then you get to write the net report ;^)
I think this could be fun (if a bit chaotic at first). Please join us.
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net control operator 5th class).
