[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Hello Folks,
    Another fine day today.  Well except for the mountain beaver deciding 
our foundation was meant for hole digging.  But we will deal with him.  
Means I'll not be hanging any wire antennas but hacking down the last 
year's growth of alder.  But the back 'yard' needs a clearcut!  The 
bracken fern are getting wiped out by the rodent so I'll just complete the 
job and take out his cover too.

    I finally beat a bit of VHDL into submission but all of my software 
training has not prepared me for creating circuitry via high level 
languages.  Small changes in the VHDL make major differences in the 
digital circuitry.  More education is necessary before I start crafting 
CPUs on the fly!  Fascinating stuff though.  Maybe one day we will be able 
to flash a new processor into our Elecraft rigs ;)  Wayne does have a few 
things up his sleeve but we do read the same trade journals :)

    Tomorrow we will try the 20 meter net but not the 40 meter one.  Forty 
meters is quite noisy at our regular time so I'll wait until the sun 
starts setting earlier before I reinstate it.  The sun is already showing 
signs of autumn but a few months will help the band get stronger.  That 
also means 20 meters will start getting worse.  It's the nature of the 
business.

    Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz

Visit our web site: http://ecn.visionseer.com/ for net details.  Thank you 
Dan.

See you tomorrow evening,
     Kevin.  KD5ONS

Good luck in the remainder of the North American QSO Party!  Sounds like 
folks are having a great time.
    KJR
