[Elecraft] Elecraft Net Report /2 February 9, 2004

[Kevin Rock]

Wow that was interesting.  I thought the QSB was bad on 20 meters!  I had Bill, K1EV, 
bouncing between S9 and S3 on alternate letters and some of them went even lower.  
Mychael, AA3WF acted as a relay at one point (Thanks Mychael) as did Earl, K6SE 
(Thanks Earl).  Mychael was about S5-S7 but Earl was blowing my headphones off my 
ears!   I had a time finding a slot because of some TEST but wound up at 7043 kHz.  
For five minutes before the net I thought I had a spot and then it got eaten.  But 
finally I got a slot for us.  Thanks to all for finding me.  I made the preamble much 
longer than normal so folks could find me.  Seemed to work.  Right off the bat I had to 
start wading through the QNI.

Thanks to all for your participation.  As ever any mistakes are owned and copywritten 
by K. J. Rock.  If the FCC didn't give you the above calls maybe you should think of 
getting them as a vanity call ;)   If I blew your serial number you make publicly abase 
me and I will correct it.  Both on this list and in my database.

When the bands come back in a few years this will be easy!   

Until next week 73,
