[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for September 4th, 2005

[Kevin Rock]

Thank you Matt.

You have clarified what was ringing in the back of my brain.  I had heard 
something was going to change with Daylight Savings Time but not the 
particulars.  Thus we may (or may not) have to wait until next year for 
the change to occur.  Thank you Ben Franklin and the US Congress ;)  What 
would we do without either one of them?  (That was rhetorical folks!)
    Kevin.
