[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   One more week has passed beneath the bridge.  Water is once again 
flowing onto our Oregon hillsides.  We did have a few nice sunny days so I 
know they exist but our daffodils are getting another drink before all the 
buds complete their mission.  ARECC was good today.  Our class has one 
more installment before Pat and I graduate a number of students at level 
3.  We will miss teaching our EC what his position requires.  He is a 
hoot.  An old Coastie who worked on the Staten Island icebreaker.  It is 
often a struggle to stay ahead of these folks.  We will prepare them to be 
the best ecomm team in the Northwest if not the entire West Coast!
    But I digress ;)  Tomorrow evening we will attempt another installment 
of the Elecraft CW Net.  Hopefully propagation will allow me to get past 
the Rocky Mountains and at least in to the plains states.  Ohio and 
Pennsylvania are to be hoped for but may be possible.  My sked into OK was 
mostly good this week but working down to ABQ was a struggle at times.  We 
did enter a few streams of particles from the sun giving us a bit higher 
noise level but just makes life a bit more interesting copying S1 sigs 
with an S3 noise level!  But in a couple of years the down years of the 
solar cycle will just be a memory and we will be working Eastern Europe 
and New Zealand with no difficulties.
    I hope to see you all try your hand tomorrow on the nets.

    Hasta luego,
