[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Folks,
    First off thanks for the fun on QRPTTF today.  Pat and I taught the 
last session of ARECC level 3 and drove home.  Got a sandwich on the way 
and stopped near downtown Buxton.  I met up with my cohort with my rig and 
gear to hook up with his two rigs and sundry other bits of gear.  We had 
fun working together to obtain about 25 contacts on 20 and 40 meters.  Not 
as good as it could have been but not as bad as it could have been 
either.  It was fun to work all we could but I do know we missed a few we 
would have liked in the logs.  K1, K2, and ATS-3 each had their time in 
the sun (?) working contacts.
    Now that ARECC is off our plate we can concentrate on school and the 
job searching.  It also leaves a bit more time to get on the air.  Such as 
tomorrow.  May day is a very nice day to get on the air and see if your 
rig will working into Buxton, Oregon.  The Elecraft CW Net is low key.  We 
exchange serial numbers, weather reports, signal reports, and news of our 
families.  Just a pleasant way to say howdy on a Sunday afternoon.  Might 
just get a chance to harass W0NTA about not hearing us call him ;)  But 
then there was the ever elusive K3ESE.  He would pop up only to burrow 
back into the noise before we could catch him.  Seemed to be everywhere 
though.  We would hear his call bandied about and then a subtle, often 
highly elusive, CW signal way underneath.  Then he'd zip off again.  Never 
did land him.  Others were more lucky!  We got them first call.
    It is off to work on my robot crafting more assembly language ISRs to 
get the sonar tweaked and ready.  The AI apps will be ready to roll soon 
too.  But if you want to get on the air tomorrow ECN is ready to take your 
call.

Oh, rigs?  I think the K1 was a fun rig to play with.  We used that one 
for most of the time I was working with Karl.  Maybe one day I will build 
one for camping.  The ATS-3 has its nice features but the K1 has its too.
    See you tomorrow,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
