Good Evening All,
    I hope your 2005 is starting off nicely.  We are getting more snow but 
it appears to be tapering off.  The fir trees shed their load last night 
approximately every 15 minutes.  I did get some sleep but the whumping 
noises did interrupt my slumbers.

    I have gotten a few notes on using 80 meters so will list them when a 
critical mass accretes.  So far it looks like the band will stretch from 
me approximately 1800 miles or so.  Tom, N0SS, is about 1600 miles from me 
as the crow flies.  His central location will help us all get together if 
he has the time to assist us on ECN/80.  I still need to get the antenna 
up but progress is being made.  Hopefully tomorrow the ladderline will 
snake into the house.  The loop will not be strung by net time unless 
everything proceeds quite rapidly.  But, this week will see a new antenna 
up and running.  Now I need some idea of whether we should simply move the 
40 meter net to 80 meters or try 80 meters one night during the week.  
I've been told it opens up around 0100z thus the second net's time slot 
would work for us.  Let me all know what you think so I may get a 
consensus opinion.

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

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

No special requirements or exchanges necessary on ECN just check in and 
see what happens from there.
   Hope to see you tomorrow evening,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS
