[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   According to my little RS clock it is now 0449z.  Therefore an hour and 49 minutes ago it was 0300z and 7 PM PST.  Hopefully I did it correctly this time :)  So tomorrow we meet at 0000z and 0300z.  Sounds like a plan.  Conditions have been fair to good this last week.  It does help my mentor put up a nice beam at 60 feet but the sun has also cooperated.  A sunspot is just slipping over the limb of the sun as I write.  It may be a sign of things to come; like the beginning of the end of the solar minimum.  
   Weather has been soggy here but I cannot complain.  All the wood I collected is keeping the place very cozy.  Fire guardian Sam is on watch to make sure the temperature is to his liking.  The folks in North and South Dakota do have something they may wish to discuss but I fear they are far too busy digging themselves out of the wind driven snow which fell over a broad swath of territory.  I read 80 mph winds sculpted some very large drifts east of and inside of the Black Hills.  I lived near Keystone for a few years and went to school at SDSM&T as did my father and brother.  Normally winters are quite mild there compared to the surrounding areas.  My mom had her third child (my sister Dairn) there in 1949 while dad was in school on the GI Bill after the war.  She mentioned the drifts reached the second story of the hospital.  So these storms do happen but not all that often in Rapid City.  Stay warm folks!

Please join us tomorrow evening.
