[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening All,
    We have just arrived back home on the mountain after a fine Greek 
dinner.  See recipe at the end of this epistle.  The Mad Greek is still 
doing a fine job after all these years.  Our meal finished off a busy day 
of banging some math into a microcontroller, sawing more boards for the 
deck, gathering more wood for the fire, and editing some technical prose 
for a magazine article.  Busy day but a tzadziki dipped sandwich with some 
very good olives rounds it all off ;)
    Last night 40 meters was open to Europe so I could listen to a few 
stations there and up into Alaska where I checked into the Bush Net with a 
cross mode contact on my ATS-3 running 2 watts.  They were more than happy 
to copy my CW sent while in bed.  Not easy sending while lying down and 
working off my pillow but it worked out and they got another QNI.  The 
ATS-3 worked very well during the cross mode contact.  No problem zero 
beating them at all.  20 meters was filled with rapid QSB on Friday 
morning but maybe the sun will settle down and not pound the ionosphere 
for a little while.  Then we can take advantage of the very good 
propagation it has given us.  We shall see.

    Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz

See you all tomorrow on 20 meters,
