[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Happy 27th of August!
    The wood is gradually filling the shed as we are shedding pounds.  
Great way to get back into shape ;)  Then wood does heat quite a few times 
before it gets into the stove!  The days in Western Oregon are getting 
shorter and the critters are getting ready for winter.  Elk season opened 
this morning and the neighbors are all in camouflage stalking in the 
woods.  Our chainsaws and splitting maul kept them at bay.
    The band came back nicely from the collisions with a few coronal mass 
ejections.  From what I've read on QRP-L the band is open into HI and 
places west.  Larry Makoski, W2LJ, is closing in on QRP WAS.  If any of 
you can give him AK or NV he would be most appreciative.  While on that 
note: ECN needs two states to attain its WAS.  While not totally QRP it 
would be nice to get DE and SD.  DE is my last state for CW WAS so two 
birds with one stone ;)
    Tomorrow Mr. Hammond is off driving about so we may or may not hear 
 from him.  He definitely will not be "catching the strays" as he puts it.  
So if any of you wish to act as a relay station please holler and you have 
control while you call a few CQ ECN.  Now to get my hands to stop shaking 
 from using the splitting maul.  That may make my fist a bit odd sounding; 
luckily it is my left hand which is effected the most strongly.  Typing is 
harder than CW at this point.

    Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz
Visit our web site: http://ecn.visionseer.com/ for net details.  Thank you 
Dan.

Until tomorrow please take care,
    Kevin.  KD5ONS
