[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    It is chilly and cloudy with a mist falling as I write this but  
Barber's Adagio for Strings is playing and the fire is warm.  Sam has  
moved to his box near it and is sleeping soundly.  During the course of  
the week there were a few dry days.  With some help from a friend I got  
the roof ripped off, the broken rafters replaced, and got the new  
sheathing laid down.  I ran out of time to get the project completed  
before the wet returned.  It is tacked together and covered with a few  
layers of plastic.  I'll insulate soon.
    Tomorrow I have volunteered to staff the EOC for a walk/run/bike race.   
I'll be on the air starting at 6 AM until 2 PM.  Then I drive home and  
hope to get back on the air for the Elecraft Net.  It will be quite a long  
day when I finally get to bed!  Looks like the alarm will be set for 4 AM  
to get chores done and into town on time.  So if you hear a series of dits  
or dahs it means I have fallen asleep on the paddles :)  Because of the  
construction my radios are back in my original radio shack.  Drywall dust  
and paddles do not mix well.
    I was able to get on twenty meters a few times this week.  The band  
worked for us so it should be in fair shape for the first of tomorrow's  
two nets.  I did not test forty meters but lately it has been good.  I  
have not looked at the national weather so have no idea where the storms  
will be.  Here it will be very wet and windy; I am happy my NCS job keeps  
me inside.  The folks out on the course will not have a pleasant day.  The  
walkers, runner, and bikers will be a little warmer but still not enjoying  
themselves.  Tonight the temperature is to drop to the low 40s and the  
high tomorrow will be about 50 degrees F.

Please join us tomorrow evening.

  Tomorrow:

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

    Please join us:

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

    73,
