[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net preliminary rpt

[Bert Craig]

Hi Tom,

Just letting you know that I did hear you faintly here in icy LI, NY. I took 
a stab at it but I don't even think my neighbors heard me. Correction, I'll 
clarify and state my "nextdoor neighbors" as it occurs to me that a ham 
radio ops' neighbors can be halfway-round the globe. What a great 
hobby/service! Take care es...
