[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Weather was fantastic today, it got all the way to 60 degrees!  I took out the chainsaw and created huge mounds of saw dust and a great deal of sweat.  Next I took off my shirt and am prominently shown on numerous satellite images of the Pacific Northwest.  That bright white spec in Oregon is ME!  However, this weather could not last; this is Oregon you know ;)  So I have a pile of cut wood in the forest getting wet.  Luckily a nice amount of it found its way home with me.  Now I am slightly pink and the woodstove is happy.  Its orange maw can suck down more fodder as I dream of repairing its caulking.
   Propagation remains very nice.  Except for the 80 meter Fox hunts life was good.  Moving them into the daylight hours did not help.  But the 40 meter hunt was unaffected by the time change.  Tomorrow evening ECN/40 should be fairly productive now that EQP will not exhaust everyone :)  Going a full day without sleep is not good for folks (except those who are very young).  I think nap times should be worked into these contest thingies, it would definitely help us all who are of a certain age.  Maybe milk and cookie breaks too :)  

Please join us tomorrow evening.
