[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    Another week of summer weather.  It is nice to finally have warm days  
and not so cool nights.  Almost a month since I last needed to heat the  
house too.  Looks like next week will have some rain and cold days but  
mostly it will be high 60s and sunny.  Summer was late in arriving but it  
feels nice.  Now the fire danger is rising until the rain.  An inch of  
rain would be nice right now.  Fire danger would go down and the berry  
crops would enjoy a shower.

    The later start time for the forty meter net worked well.  This week  
the time for it will remain at 0100z.  Remember the frequencies are just  
guidelines.  The actual frequency depends upon whether I can hear anyone  
on the main frequency when I get started.  If I did then I will move up or  
down by 0.5 kHz until I find an open frequency.  My normal order for  
alternates is up 0.5 kHzz then down 0.5 kHz.  If neither of those works  
then it is up 1 kHz and followed by down 1 kHz all from the original  
starting point.

    If anyone is interested in acting as a relay station on either net  
please email me.  I will turn the net over to you for a few minutes so you  
can call areas in my skip zone.  It sure would prove helpful to those I  
cannot reach directly.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help  (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

Sunday 2200z (Sunday 3 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0100z (Sunday 6 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

       Stay well,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS
