[Elecraft] Elecraft Net Report Dec 21, 2003

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Folks,
   It was eventful this evening I must admit.  I started up the net on time on 14050 kHz 
and ran it there for about 15 minutes until someone took over the frequency.  Since I 
was heard 599 into Ontario when I was hearing them 539 or less I know the band was 
not reciprocal.  I then moved up to 14051 kHz for the rest of the net and managed to 
pick up a few more folks.  I got lots of partial calls and then nothing when I asked for a 
fill.  So the band was in and out to say the least.  I think I'll put in the partial calls this 
week and ask for fills on the email list since at least one of you gave me a name before 
the propagation ate you.  There might be a few folks on here that have no clue they 
checked too :)
