[Elecraft] ECN net this Sunay VS Hurricane Frances

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Folks,
    The Elecraft CW Net will be moved down from its normal frequency due to 
Hurricane(?) Frances.  I am unsure whether Frances is still a hurricane or 
not since it has been downgraded so many times over the last few days.  I 
know there is a stiff wind still associated with it but mosly tons of 
rain.

    Luckily Hurricane Howard is now just a tropical depression and is now 
longer effecting our weather in Oregon.  It is warming back up again so I 
can do my antenna work and get ready for winter which is just around the 
corner.  Sunny and warm today as we clean the stove and chimney.  The wood 
cutting, splitting, collecting, and stacking is about half done.

    It looks like the Southern US and the Antilles are due for another much 
stronger storm in Hurricane Ivan.  It is setting records for the highest 
wind at the lowest latitude.  I don't know when it will come into the US 
waters but it looks like it will be bigger than Charlie, Howard, or 
Frances.

    I will listen on 14050 kHz then move down until I find an open spot.  
Please scan down and you will find me or another NCS on ECN/1.
    73,
        Kevin.  KD5ONS
