Subject: [Elecraft] Eurasian ECN

Hi gang!

This is just to say that the Eurasian ECN is still alive.  Unfortunately I 
did not hear Doc, YI9RVT  either on 20 nor on 40 lastFridays net.
On 40m  the following stations were met:

Bob      G3PJT   K2
George   G3ICO   K2
Rob      PA0RBO  K2

Thanks to all for that activity!
See you next friday, August 6   20m   19:00Z  around 14045 Kc
                             and 40m   20:30Z          7025 Kc

You can try the North American ECN if you like.  We are experiencing our 
normal Midwestern QRN season.  My ears ring-ing-ing-ing for a day or so 
after the 40 meter net.  20 meters is a lot less noisy but lately it has 
been the QSB which bothers us the most.  If I can somehow pass the NCS 
slot to the East we do much better.

Good luck checking in to which ever ECN works for you :)

We have had check ins from New Zealand, Kwajalein, South Africa, and Wales.

Hi Geoff:

PLEASE FEEL FREE to join us ANY TIME you can hear us. I was quite 
surprised, a while back, when a ZS6 joined us on the net... FIRST(!) real 
DX (welll non-western hemisphere) station to check in to the net, I think.

Just make enough noise that we can hear you and we'll do what we can to 
check you  in.

Please understand that, during our summers, we have a LOT of QRN from 
locally-generated thunderstorms and sometimes even hearing (almost) local 
stations can be a trial, so if you try to QNI and don't get acknowledged, 
it's NOT that we don't want you in, just that our ears are screaming 
"HELP" and we can't pull you thru the noise.

73,

Tom   N0SS
