[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for 40 meters 13th of September 2004

[Art-W6KY]

Hey Kevin,
I found out why I was weaker than usual. I was Mobile, in motion, with
an outbacker on the trunk lip mount. Well usually that Diamond mount
has a little 2 ft 2 meter Hamstick. The big Outbacker with 70 MPH of
windload caused it to ratchet down to horzintal. It was sticking straight
out the back of the car. I didn't know this and managed to check in
with the K1 - 5 watts, and a vertical laying down on the trunk of the car.
So log me in as W6KY/M/QRP/NA    (NA = No Antenna)
73, Art   W6KY  K1-2  K1-4

Fourty Meters was a bit noisier than 20 meters this evening but that just 
made things a bit more interesting. No relays to help but I think I 
picked up most everyone calling. Some were even using marginal antennas. 
You may remain nameless if you wish :) I am not sure if running a net is 
supposed to be this much fun. Every week the bands are getting a bit 
better and I am starting to get the hang of using CW. The net seems to be 
less stressful and I get to meet more folks. Maybe I am doing something 
right. Who knows? I just seem to get a kick out of it and people seem to 
keep coming back again. Hmmm ... must be the rigs :)

The list for 7045 kHz:
W6KY - Art - CA - K1 - 141
K7TQ - Randy - ID - K2 - 213
N9IV - Russ - IN - KX1 - 742
AA0NI - Dan - OK - K2 - 3421
N7NLU - Karl - OR - got to chatting about honey do lists and missed asking 
about your rig :)
N2YC - John - NY - KX1 - 336
AA4NN - Joe - SC - K2 - 3751 Great copy Joe :)
W8YMO - Harry - OH - K2 - 1202
AA5CK - Ted - OK - K1 - 1226
W6ZOH - Floyd - ID - non Elecraft ?

As always the errors are mine. Please report any of them to me so I can 
beat myself and then fix them. Errors of omission mostly. I just keep 
forgetting to ask things. KI0MZ and N7NLU both got away without me asking 
for a SN. W0NTA makes so many Elecraft rigs I need to stay on my toes 
because he keeps checking in new ones all the time. Must be like peanuts 
I guess :)

Stay well folks and don't work this hard during the coming week,
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
