[Elecraft] Code Testing: vote with your key

[Kevin Rock]

All y'all may think of firing up the rig and joining the Elecraft CW Net.  
We try to make a bit of noise on 20 meters on Sunday.  Other than that I 
do make CW contacts almost every day of the week.  I don't know about the 
rest of you but I need to take a break and do chores which span multiple 
pages on my voluminous Honey Do list.  Thus I take a break on Saturday to 
do what ever I am told (asked?).

I do get on the air.  I use CW.  The bands may not be fantastic but I work 
at least an hour a day every day except Saturday.  Some nights I run in 
other CW nets or on the NTS system.  Occasionally I sneak in a contact on 
Saturday night when SWMBO is not looking or when I've been especially 
good.  Ten hours a week on the air using CW should hold up my end of the 
bargain.
    73 and I'll hear you on the air.
       Kevin.  KD5ONS  dit-dit
