[Elecraft] June 1 Net Report

[Donald Nesbitt]

Hello to all.  Conditions today were "interesting" on both 17 and 20!  I =
could only hear a couple of very weak bursts of signals here in Atlanta =
on 17 meters.  I was checked in on IRC at #elecraft during the net but =
had no other stations on the channel.

I could not hear Rich KQ9L at all on either 17 or 20.  When I got to =
14.333, Larry W6LAR and Bill NI5F were keeping the frequency warm (great =
idea - thanks!!!) and nothing was heard from Rich KQ9L.  I asked Larry =
to give him a call from the west coast but nothing was heard either by =
Larry or here in Atlanta.  Since it was a few minutes past 20:30z we =
started the net.  Stations I logged on 20 meters are listed below.  =
Again, I am sure that I missed many others and there are probably some =
errors included below.  It was nice to be able to log in Jacques F9OJ =
and David VE6DRW as dx checkins.  Again, as was true last week, no cw =
checkins were heard by me (when I call for cw I do tune + and - 1.5 khz =
of our net frequency - just to be sure!).  Stations that were logged in =
were given the opportunity to make any calls that they wanted.  =
Mercifully - all declined and just participated in the "test" - yes, =
conditions were rotten!!!

Several stations rotated the NC duties and called for chickins - as I =
recall, Larry W6LAR, Dale WA8SRA and Harry AB2PN - and - surely I've =
forgotten someone (sorry) provided checkins and relays.  Stations =
checked in by me were:

W6LAR      Larry      K2 #3147   CA

F9OJ         Jacques  K2 #0937   France

NI5F          Bill         K2 #1135 and K2 #2473  (ck'd in on both K2's) =
MS

N5IB          Jim        k2 #1233    LA

AB2PN      Harry     K2 #3458   NY

NM5U        David     K2 #3014   NM

W7QHD     Kurt       K2/100 # 1538   AZ

K5OI          Tim        K2 # 0063  OK

VE6DRW   David      K2/100 #2171   Canada

WA8SRA   Dale       K2 #3039   OH



I'm not sure how I got into this but am glad that I was able to help out =
during the last couple of net "tests".  It's doubtful that I'll have =
much time next week and it is probably time for me to get out of the way =
anyway so Stephen and Rich can get some more "permanent" help.  If you =
can volunteer to serve as a net control station perhaps you could email =
either Stephen W3SMK or Rich KQ9L and let them know.  In spite of the =
frustrations of band conditions, it really is a lot of fun and I know =
they will appreciate the volunteers :)  Have fun ----
