[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   I think our weather is very nice.  Sunny, light wind, the smell of earth drying after a few days of showers, and a temperature of 65 degrees.  Not too bad.  So, I got my bicycle out and attempted to ride up the mountain.  Kevin is in sad shape!  I can hike up the mountain but riding my bike up there is not as easy as it was when I was twenty when I hiked, climbed, and spelunked the Black Hills :)  However, that was too many years ago to remember very well and I was just a kid.  I have grown older and marginally wiser ;)  Both are good.
   Unfortunately I have not been able to check conditions this week.  My mentor and I have had conflicting schedules due to appointments.  Hopefully that will change next week.  I was able to check in to the MARS net last night and that was simple; unlike the many other times I have tried lately.  80 meters is just not working very well in covering Oregon and Washington (Region 10 to be exact) and relay stations are very difficult to find.  This reminds me: if you can hear someone calling ECN who is not acknowledged by net control while you were please call again so you can relay that station to us.  Just a call sign is enough in all cases.  I can find the information and log them.  

Please join us tomorrow evening.
 
1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help  (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0100z (Sunday 6 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

   Stay healthy,
      Kevin.  KD5ONS
