Sorry I'm late folks.  Yesterday got a little busy and it wasn't until daybreak this 
morning I realized I had not sent out this announcement.  

I hope the propagation will be a bit better than it was last week.  I lost a lot of you 
folks on the East Coast due to longer hops than usual.  That was the first week I had 
to contend with the sun setting before I started the net.  That may have been why I 
had been so lucky into the Eastern part of the country.  

I will run the net as I have for the last few weeks by calling regions in order from the 
East to the West.  If there are any relay stations available or if you are just strong into 
my location I will use you for an assist.  Especially for regions 6 and 7.  After the net 
goes free please use the net frequency for calling and take your contact off frequency 
to let others work stations new to them.  This will facilitate greater throughput of  
information.

Soon we will have a time change.  Should I move the net up to 0000z or to 0200z?   
0100z will land right at dinner time for me so I don't want to run it then.  Suggestions?  
Flames?  Orders?  

Sunday at 6 PM PDT (0100z  Monday) I will run the Elecraft CW Net on 20 meters at 
14050 kHz.   If  that is  busy I'll move up until I find a spot for us to  use.

Please join us.
