[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net report for October 20, 2003

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Folks,
   Another day for poor conditions.  It took a bit of digging to get the first QNI but I did 
get started with a 1 call.  Then I had to wait until 8 land to get my next one.  I was 
pushed up to 14051 kHz though so this may have affected my catch this evening.  

I am not sure if John, NA8M, was ready to act as a relay but he did a fine job catching 
three more for me.  At the end he called back and had a great signal.  

We may have to move this net earlier in the day because now that I am in darkness the 
propagation to my East is pretty bad.  Since there isn't much West of me except a big 
pool of water East is what matters.  Any comments on moving ECN into the mid part of 
the day?  I know we were trying to avoid the contesters but we just may have to work 
around them to get good propagation.  Please send you comments to me and keep 
them off the reflector.  Don't want to bug Wayne and Eric by overloading of their 
bandwidth :)

On to the list of folks checking in:

K1EV - Bill - CT
NA8M - John - MI   Thanks for the fine QNG & QSP
NA7Y - Bill - QA
N6JW - John - CA
N7XY - Bob - WA
AA3WF - Mychael - PA   You are tied for most number of QNIs :)
W4ULY - Jim - SC    Got in by the skin of his teeth :)

If there are any errors they are mine and will get eaten properly over the over the 
coming week :)  

Thank you for your patience and for your support.

    Kevin.   KD5ONS   (Net control operator 4th class).  I was told to give myself a pay 
increase too :)
