[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for July 12th & 13th, 2009

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Twenty meters was filled with reports of QSB while I was sending reports of QSB.  Hmmm... reciprocal reception?  Maybe it can happen :)  There was also some noise but it did not sound like thunderstorms here; just an overall layer of static.  Conditions on forty meters were not the best.  I dug through the noise but could only copy a few calls.  I think I logged everyone who called but the noise was high enough so there may have been a few left when I closed.  
   Weather reports were of warm and sunny days unlike my gloom and cold.  I better check my fire so it does not go out tonight.  Currently it is raining at a temperature of 50 degrees.  Yesterday it was 84 at dinner time but it quickly cooled off.  I closed all the windows at bedtime but it still got rather cold in here.  According to my forecast I will start seeing sun again by Wednesday and the temperatures will rise into the 70s again.  Maybe even 80 by the next weekend.  I had reports of 85 in California so they are receiving their normal weather.  I am hoping for a good dry season so I can complete some outdoor work which requires it.  Now to repair my chainsaw and get back to cutting wood for the coming winter.

   If there are any corrections necessary to the above lists please send me an email.  Enjoy your week and please send sun and warm weather out West.  Even though it is raining the fire danger is rising.  I have never figured that out.  Luckily I am surrounded by clear cuts on four sides so if I start a fire it will not go far :)  
   Until next week stay well,
      73,
