[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for October 23rd, 2005

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    Thanks to N0SS and K1EV for getting a few more QNI for me.  The band 
had some QSB on both ends but the QRN grew as we went along.  Looks like 
the weather out East is starting to get a little cooler and wetter.  I did 
not get weather reports from Fred or Karl but I would assume Karl's is 
very much like mine ;)  Fred may or may not have sunshine.  When I arrived 
in California last week it was sunny but the next morning dawned cloudy 
and cooler.
    Thank you Bill for waiting then working the East with Tom.  I 
appreciate the help.  The band was odd though.  Either folks were worn out 
 from contesting or we simply were not getting out all that well.  Hmmm...  
Fred was very loud for some reason.  Maybe he is out camping somewhere and 
pointing directly at me ;)  Karl was tough copy today but that is not 
surprising since he is behind a mountain range and too close to bounce of 
the ionosphere.  Pennsylvania was well represented tonight with check ins 
 from Avondale and State College.

On 14050 kHz at 2300Z:
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008
N9IV - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650
WU5X - Jim - AR - K2 - 3440
K1EV - Bill - CT - K2 - 2152
KL7CW - Rick - AK - KX1 - 798
W9ATT - Jim - IL - fly by check in
K6DGW - Fred - CA - K2 - 4398    QNI #15!
N7NLU - Karl - OR - K2 - 4227
AB3AP - Mike - PA - K2/100 but did not get a serial number :(
K3OOL - Craig - PA - K2 - 4790
W0QQS - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646

Signal reports:
Tom - 579 to 599 depending upon where his beam was pointed.
Russ - 559 to 579 due to the QSB
Jim - 579
Bill - 589 to 599 due to slow QSB
Rick - 559 due to QRP and Geography ;)
Jim - 599
Fred - 589 which is surprising since he is normally too close
Karl - 339 due to mountainous terrain!
Mike - 449
Craig - 569
Bruce - 579 with some QSB

If there are any errors please send the change report and I'll list it 
here and correct my database.

Thanks to the two fellows who waited till the end and told me TNX.  It is 
nice to know there are folks who listen to me the whole way through :)  
Sending the list at the end is always a good bit of practice after 40 
minutes of the net!  One day I may get better at this but don't hold your 
breath ;)
    73 All,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
