Good Evening,
    For those of you who have not heard of our little net let me give you 
an introduction.  We meet on two bands on Sunday afternoon and evening 
depending upon where you live in North America.  The NCS (me and a few 
other) calls for check ins via the handy CQ method and works them in 
order.  If you are new to the net we take name and state or province.  
Then if you have an Elecraft rig we ask you for rig type (K1, K2, KX1) and 
its serial number.  Once you have checked in a few times we simply 
exchange weather and signal reports with a few other details of our 
lives.
    Power levels range from 150 mW to the legal limit.  Elecraft rigs are 
not required.  We like to hear from a lot of areas and different weather 
conditions.  CW speed ranges from 5 wpm or so up to 35 wpm or there 
abouts.  NCS tries to stick at about 20 wpm with spaces as necessary.  The 
included URL points at a few scripts and other odds and ends about the 
net.  We have been running for nearly 2 years and have continued support.  
It seems folks are having fun and I know I am.

Please join us :
Monday 0000z (Sunday 4pm PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0300z (Sunday 7pm PST)  7045 kHz

Dan.

Weather in Oregon is starting to turn back into Spring but one can never 
tell here.  The propagation may or may not be good but with experienced 
relay stations we do try to get all who call into the log book and on to 
the inclusive database.  Since our time does not change until after 
Midnight I am not going to mess with our net schedule until next week.  
Hope I can do the math correctly this time and not be two hours off like I 
was last Autumn :(
    Take care,
       Kevin.   KD5ONS
