[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I'm only around on Sunday afternoons to check in about once or twice a year,
but when I am I do. 

I greatly appreciate what Kevin's done with the CW net. It takes consistency
and commitment to be there week after week, through "thick and thin", and I
know Kevin's had a lifetime's share of both. And Tom, N0SS, has been there
to join in and relay check-ins every time I've had the opportunity to join
the gang, although he's had his own serious distractions to deal with. 

The end result is something the rest of us can depend upon to be there:
another reason to grab the paddles or key and get on the air. 

Tnx gentlemen.

I haven't been able to check in for quite some time - sometimes due to being
away (without my KX-1 in tow) over the weekend, but mostly due to
propagation (and, no doubt, the limitations of my stealth antenna - shhh,
don't tell the Covenants Committee).

This Sunday 20 was dead air at this QTH (7 PM EDT). I heard lots of signals
on 40 but Kevin never heard me thru his QRN. At the end of the net I sent a
plaintive "pse QSP," hoping one of the stations I heard so strongly would
take the bait, but no one did. Sigh.

Maybe when the sunspots return.
