[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    The votes are trickling in.  There is not one nay vote or abstention in 
the bunch.  It appears folks wish for both the twenty and the forty meter 
nets to move earlier by one hour.  Thus: twenty meters at 2300z Sunday and 
the forty meter net at 0200z Monday.  Frequencies are dependent upon use 
when I get on the air.  If they are occupied and the folks doing so are 
long winded ;) I'll move +/- 1 kHz.  Now to put a great big note on the 
refrigerator, another on the window in front of my radio, and yet a third 
on my computer so I remember what in the world is going on!
    Remember this is only until the sun starts setting a bit later in the 
day.  Plus if there is a major, or even a minor contest going on, things 
may have to change.  Hopefully by moving up by an hour the propagation 
will hold long enough to check a few of you in to the net.
    We have gone one whole day without too much rain.  When the sun set I 
could see blue sky.  For folks from the Northwest blue is quite a strange 
color.  We also need to be reminded quite often during this part of the 
year what that big yellow ball in the sky is ;)  Some folks go so far as 
to drive to the other side of the Cascade Range to see clear sky and sun.  
The rest of us just get used to the gloom and let the moss grow on our 
vehicles!
    This year it is especially wet and soggy.  Twice last week I had to 
drive through the creek to get to work.  Normally that creek is under the 
bridge.  This week it was well over the bridge.  But if you drive slowly 
you don't short out the electrics :)  Good thing I am not on my British 
motorcycle!  The Nehalem and Tualatin Rivers are both high but the respite 
 from the downpour means the flooding is closer to the coast than it was 
earlier this week.

       Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 3pm PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 6pm PST)  7045 kHz

Stay dry and keep your fires burning folks,
