[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Definitely OT, but...

Many are now convinced that global warming will be more destructively
felt in increasing extremes, rather than a straight line increase in
temperature.  Warmer oceans make for nastier typhoons and hurricanes.
Displaced cold water changes local weather patterns. We see more
violent weather shifts due to more air needing to move more to
dissipate more energy at the poles (yes, that's "more" cubed). That
brings a greater volume of hot air farther north and a greater volume
of cold air farther south, resulting in shorter light-switch spring
and fall seasons with blizzard to burnout to blizzard to burnout
winter-summer annual cycles.

Global warming is anything except the popular simple-minded single
dimension gray scale concept that gradually eliminates winter in the
temperate zones.  Instead it's nasty, complicated, full of unforeseen
consequences and to this point unknown behavior cycles.  If you want
to risk a little brain damage, stay deep in the technical weather
blogs.  You thought electronics was complicated?  Weather makes
everything else look simple.

73, Guy.
