[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Afternoon,
    This epistle is earlier than normal since I have no idea when I will be 
back home this evening.  I am off to Beaverton.  Hopefully I will not get 
too lost in the big city ;)  I find it much easier to negotiate the 
forests and hills than I do city streets.  I have a map to follow which 
can be good or bad.  A compass and a topo map would be easier but the land 
is so flat there are not many landmarks!  If you do not hear from me 
tomorrow afternoon send out the search and rescue folks.  I may have 
gotten stuck in a cul-de-sac :)
    The flowers are starting to open, the hummingbirds are feeding, and the 
snow is falling.  It must be Spring.  The marshland is alive with the 
sound of frogs and waterfowl.  Birds are searching for nest making 
materials too. One of these days the snow and rain will stop so I can till 
the soil for my garden.  Each year I till it and then erect a cover to 
keep it warm.  One of these years I will construct another, larger 
greenhouse to make life easier for me.  Then I will have to fight off the 
burrowing animals who love to eat my root crops.  I think I'll set some 
mesh panels in around the perimeter to see if that will fend them off.  At 
least direct their path of entry to where I can place a few mole traps.  
That may or may not get their attention.
    The last few days have provided fair to good propagation on 40 meters 
at 7 PM local time.  Hopefully that will translate into good propagation 
for our nets.  Now to wax my antennas so the water does not dilute my RF.

     Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7pm PDT)  7045 kHz

    Until tomorrow,
        Kevin.  KD5ONS
