[Elecraft] Elecraft Net Report/2 for February 16, 2004

Hi Bert:

>Oops, I checked in (Made contact.) with someone calling CQ ECN on 7045.

><hihi> I'll try again next week.

That way probably either me or K6SE trying to raise Kevin... he checked in 
and then disappeared... maybe back to the party for his XYL... I never 
heard from him again.

When you checked in, Earl, K6SE, was trying to pull you thru. If he was 
going too fast for you, don't feel the least bit bashful about asking for a 
QRS. If he doesn't QRS, and then keep on asking!!!

In this particular instance, I'm not certain Earl was copying you all that 
well either... I could barely hear your signals and there was no way I'd 
have been able to pull you out. We did get some of your info... but not 
your operating name "Bert". I pulled it from the FCC list, but it's a bit 
different there.

Please continue to join us on the net. And NEVER feel bashful about asking 
us to QRS for you. We should ALL be more than happy to do so.

I also heard W7JJL attempt to check in several times. I dropped my speed 
down to about 8 WPM, but I was never able to get all of this information. 
Still missed the first digit of his K1 serial number. He called me after 
the net, and I responded, but never heard from him again.

Propagation really favored the west coast tonight.

73,
