[Elecraft] Elecraft Net Report for March 28th 2004

[Kevin Rock]

Very good net this evening even though the QSB was eating my signal 
badly.  I was hearing most everyone very well but they simply were not 
hearing me.  So very quickly after we got done with the early bird check 
ins I checked in Tom and Bill, N0SS and K1EV respectively.  I asked Tom to 
give it a shot and he immediately passed the hat to Bill.  About 30 
minutes later I got control back :)  But Bill had brought in a number of 
folks across the US and Canada.  Way to go Bill!  Thank you for a job well 
done.  Then Tom and I called a number of times.  But Tom with his beam 
trumps my G5RV every time.  Thanks Tom.  Without your relay of Bill's list 
I would have had only about half of the information.  The speed varied as 
needed and I thought folks were welcomed properly.  Thank you once again 
to all of the check in stations and to all of the relay stations.  I did 
call QRL ? once just to make sure I wasn't being called and I got a very 
proper C in return.  Thanks to whomever sent it, I was simply checking :)

On to the list:

W0NTA - Dick - CO - K2 - 3900
AA3WF - Mychael - PA - K2 - 1025
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008   Thanks for the QSP work!

K1EV - Bill - CT - K2 - 2152 Great QSP work!! Thanks.
W6JD - Doug - CA - K2 - 1626

N2YC - John - NY - KX1 - 336   Your KX1 works coast to coast just fine.

Propagation never ceases to amaze me.  I could hear almost everyone except 
the OR and CA folks but most of you could not hear me very well.  I even 
heard my stalwart center man Tom say I was weak.  Oh well you all came in 
fine.

73 all,
