[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for August 22nd & 23rd, 2010

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Twenty meters was good today.  Some QSB which varied from place to place.  From very rapid and deep to just a slight influence.  There was very little noise.  As we move into fall I think twenty will gain more strength.  Here it feels like autumn with temperatures in the mid forties at night and near sixty in the day.  Tomorrow there will be a few warm days but back to what we have now by the next weekend.  Time I got all the fire wood I have cut back to the house.
   Forty meters was once again unable to sustain long distance communications.  I thought I heard K1THP very early but got no response to my query.  Then I thought I heard NO8V but he too vanished before contact was established.  The band was noise with a little fading but the locals were strong.

   Another sign of seasonal change is here: the sun is setting earlier and further south each day.  The berries are going crazy as are the coyotes who eat them.  I get a few of them but it has been a little dry to fill out the bushes.  I am also seeing the fireweed fade and the foxglove bloom near the top of the stalk.  Those are my gauges telling me to get my wood home and under cover.  
   Stay well until we meet again,
      73,
         Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
