[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    I hope you have all recovered from Thanksgiving ;)  I have lost track  
of the number of times it has snowed.  I think its at six now but today's  
is the only one which has lasted for more than a few hours.  Not much  
though, about an inch.  The sun was out but it did not warm much of  
anything.  Sam and I stayed inside after I collected enough wood for the  
next few days.  I was working on some classes for the local ARES group.   
Both a few I am going to teach and a few I took to stay certified.  FEMA  
IS-100, 200, 700, and 800A to be exact.  I feel like I am back in college  
;)  Only these classes are a lot more boring than ECE!
    We have been hit by a solar wind but I am still hearing plenty of folks  
on 20 and 40 meters.  They seem to be having fun in the contest.  Since it  
was only background 'music' I did not pay attention to who was on the air  
or where they were from.  It is just nice to hear the sound of CW in the  
background as I cook and clean and study.  I did get a coat of paint on my  
new walls but I was lead astray by my classes.  I am close to moving my  
gear but I am caught up in design work at the same time.  Simply because I  
am not in my new work area doesn't mean I can't design some new gadget.
    I am not sure if this contest will be over by net time.  Let me go  
check ... ah, here is the skinny: 2006 CQWW CW Contest: 0000 UTC, November  
25 through 2359 UTC, November 26.  Looks like they'll leave the air just  
as I start calling CQ.  How convenient ;)  So if you are not exhausted  
 from working 24 hours straight please drop in on us.  You can nap later  
:)  The sunspot number has been at zero for a few days but the solar wind  
keeps recharging the ionosphere.  All in all things work out pretty well.

      Please join us:
Monday 0000z (Sunday 4 PM PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0300z (Sunday 7 PM PST)  7045 kHz
