[Elecraft] No ECN today

[Kevin Rock]

The Elecraft CW Nets are not going to be held today.  The NCS is going to be taking a much needed nap :)  Now that Field Day is officially in the past I can stop copying code in every squeak or rustle.  During my catnaps I could not stop logging.  Then with five minutes to go my computer locked solid.  Luckily N1MM kept everything in fine shape for me while I fidgetted and rebooted.  Some glitch with the USB mouse locked it as I was calling a last few CQs on ten meters.  I don't know the final number but somewhere over 300 contacts with 90 sections over five bands.  It was fun but not even close to what I was attempting.  However, I learned a lot and will do better next year.  During the last 40 minutes I had a doe right outside my window eating forbs.  A hummingbird came to the window a number of times to check on me.  I am glad I have friends who watch out for me.  Now to go for a walk and listen to the birds and trees.  I will probably copy some calls from the fir trees ;)
   73 and see you all next week,
