[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for October 17th & 18th

[Kevin]

Good Evening,
    Conditions were pretty good on both bands today.  Forty meters was loud  
with QRM, QRN, and QSB but it was still good enough to dig out a good  
number of folks.  Twenty meters was strong enough to gain three East Coast  
stations.  Soon Florida will be available.
    Weather, except for a few southern stations, was cool to chilly.  Even  
the California folks were commenting on the blast from the Gulf of  
Alaska.  That front did push the clouds south of me so even if it is cool  
it is very sunny.  Not until Friday will there be a return of rain.  It  
will be a good week to stay busy outside.

    Conditions are improving as the season changes and the days grow  
shorter.  Soon I believe forty meters will be working even better as the  
thunderstorms die out.  Less QRN will make it easier to dig out weak  
stations.  Today I could barely hear WI6O when I got relay help from  
K6PJV.  Thanks Dale!  After John I thought there was another even weaker  
station but finally quit digging.  I may have been trying to copy a call  
out of random bits of static.  I took a walk and listened to the wind in  
the fir trees.  Then it was time for dinner, dishes, and this report.
    Until next week stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
