[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for October 30th and 31st, 2005

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
     Tonight we had two nets once again.  Twenty meters sounded like cotton 
was in my headphones.  Forty meters started well but changed during the 
course of the net.  On twenty AK and HI were quite strong while on forty 
AK started strong and then grew much weaker when KL7CW rechecked at the 
end.  My contact into Los Angeles on a KX1 was surprisingly strong then he 
was effected by the change and faded greatly.  All in all it was fun.  
Maybe tomorrow I will be able to work W0o and get a QSL card from 
Frankenstein :)

On to the lists...

W0QQS - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646    Normally strong but tonight just 
audible.  Hmmm...
KL7CW - Rick - AK - KX1 - 798   I could not copy your message.  Were you 
trying to relay?

If there are any errors in the above lists please send them to me.  I will 
post them and change my database to reflect the correct information.

Remember no nets next week because of the sweepstakes.  The bands will be 
full and two of us (Tom and I) will be out in the thick of things.  He'll 
be racking up a huge score while I will simply be trying to copy a few 
call signs and pass out a few points.  If the RF is with me I may just 
work DE for CW WAS.  If not I'll just have some fun trying to get better 
at CW.
     Until two weeks from now 73,
