[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for May 16th & 17th, 2010

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Conditions were not as good as I had expected.  During the twenty meter net I had a long lull and was about to close when I heard K0DTJ respond to my CQ.  Forty meters was even more difficult eliciting only four check ins all from California.  I had not expected either band to be so quiet.
   The weather reports were good and the coldest report came from CA.  Foggy and cool with 50 degrees is not normal for this time of year.  I got another 50 degree report from Alaska and then one from Michigan.  Up here it was 65 degrees and quite nice.  Even now it is warm outside with only a few clouds.

   I am still rebuilding the database and collect SNs from emails I receive from the reflector.  Most of the week was spent rebuilding computers so I had little time to actually work on them.  The database loss was only the beginning since the rest of the drive seems to be dying.  So I backed up all the data on two other computers and am still trying to copy whatever I can of the OS.  However, the database is now on this laptop and on another computer too so I can work in a couple places.  Hopefully during the next week I can spend more time working on the system instead of on the hardware.  
   Until next week stay well,
      73,
