[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for March 29th & 30th, 2009

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Forty meters was loud tonight.  Not yet summer but the noise level is rising.  However, contacts were pretty good through the QSB and QRN.  Noise was increasing by the end so I may not have been able to drag out the last few.  I just do not know if there was someone there or if I was trying to make sense of the noise.  
   My snow from last night was gone by morning.  I aimed the Red River in the wrong direction.  I was told its water drains into the Hudson Bay.  I did not know that.  This is what causes the chronic flooding problem since the melt water proceeding northward is dammed by the still frozen river downstream.  From what I have heard on the radio and from my relatives the dikes are holding for the most part.  Another few days and life should start getting easier for them; I hope.

   If I missed anything or made an error please send me the correction via email.  As the sun comes back conditions are improving.  These times should work until the next time change.  I can make and eat dinner between the nets if I do not dilly dally.  I was not quite done eating when I had to go back to work.  But I normally leave my salad until last.  Thus the database and information lookup part of this report had me eating once again.  
   I had better get this sent and get offline.  Monday is coming and I have work to do.  Hopefully spring is coming to your area of the country.  I know it is coming here in its very sedate manner.  Summer starts sometime around the end of July so spring lasts much longer than it does in other parts of the country.  I expect my brother in Wisconsin will see his first sweet corn a month before I can plant it here.  I need to get my greenhouse repaired and running again.  
   Until next week stay well,
      73,
         Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
