[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for September 26th & 27th, 2010

[Kevin]

Good Evening,
    The nets went well.  A couple new folks and a couple I have not heard  
 from in a while; one with a new call.  Twenty meters had some QRN on it  
which is uncharacteristic.  Forty had more but then that is normal.  Only  
a little QSB on both nets so the sun is helping more than harming things  
though the RTTY contest may have improved propagation just a little ;)
    Weather reports were for mostly fall-like conditions even though the  
Coloradans were describing quite a warm day.  Here I am fluctuating  
between rain and sun; it all depends upon where the stream from the  
Pacific is aimed.  A little further north and it is sunny and warm.  A  
little further south and it is sunny and cold.  In between it is rainy and  
cold.  In any case the next week will be dry so I will be loading and  
unloading my F250 as many times as possible.  Four wheel low is the order  
of the day.

    I hope the sun stays active so we can experience ever better conditions  
as the autumn season progresses into winter.  I'll do some antenna work  
before the rains become incessant so I am ready for the worst of it.  I  
may replace one and now that there is more open space I can plan a loop  
which will have predictable break points for when the portable spar poles  
drive through the property.  If only I lived on the fifteen acre side.   
But then I would have a demolished house from all the fallen timber.   
Maybe I should build a nice log cabin radio shack over there so I can get  
away from it all :)
    Until next week stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS   (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
