[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for July 4th & 5th, 2010

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Conditions were strange today.  I was able to work all over the place but where my signal landed was spotty.  As far east as Connecticut and Georgia but not much in between.  I did get Michigan and Colorado but the West Coast seemed to be favored.  I expect a lot of folks were otherwise engaged but the band noise on 40 meters was not high.  This normally means propagation is not good during the summer months because I should be hearing storms. 
   I need to get my boots on and a warm jacket so when I climb up the mountain to the lookout I can stay warm.  The temperature only rose to 62 today but now it is getting cooler again and there may be a mist from the ocean.  Hopefully my view of all the local fireworks displays will not be blocked by low clouds or rain.  The forecast is for another day of chilly temperatures but then we will go into the 80s.  That will be nice.  I can stop burning a fire to stay warm for a week or so.

   Until next week stay well,
      73,
         Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
