[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   The last few days have been very, very nice.  The temperature rose to 65 degrees yesterday and there has been full sun.  The only way I know it is January is to view the sun angle.  Very strange for this time of year.  I am using this time to get ready for what I know must come: the return of winter.  So I have been splitting more wood and bringing it into the house.  It is much easier work when there isn't five feet of snow or torrential rains.  The extended forecast tells me this weather will continue until at least until Wednesday with gradually cooling temperatures.  It is a very nice change from what came before so I will enjoy every minute of it.
   Propagation on twenty meter was not very good early in the week but has been getting better.  One sked fell through because neither of us could hear even a dit of the other's signal!  That was a first for the many years we've been working together.  The next day we were able to work for a few minutes but it was rough copy.  The next day we were able to work the full hour and the next day was easy copy again.  Hopefully tomorrow's net will be the same but I did read of a solar wind stream due to hit tomorrow so we never can tell what will happen.  Depending upon when it hits we may get blanked out or get great reception.  Cross your fingers, this is radio ;)

Please join us tomorrow evening.
