[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for January 9th & 10th, 2011

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    Twenty meters was very good today.  Sitting at the rig watching the  
snow fall and working folks all over was fun.  There was some QSB but not  
like on forty meters.  The snow was coming down in large flakes but it was  
pretty bright outside.  I was expecting the sun to break out but it did  
not.  Then during the second net right at the end of my contact with W0CZ  
and the beginning of N0AR I saw one deer and then another.  The dusk was  
growing deeper as I saw the second one.  I was in a lighted room and must  
have moved too fast when I was writing because I spooked the second doe  
and she bolted.  They were kicking through the snow to find something to  
eat.

    Forty meters has gone long early making contacts into California  
harder.  But I am working folks to the east much easier now.  I am glad  
propagation has grown better.  Maybe the fox hunts won't be so tough this  
week ;)  Weather reports were of snow and cold all over the place.  Now  
that we are in the depths of winter the northern plains are becoming  
frigid.  Here I bounce between colder weather and mild weather from the  
south.  As the snow line drops and raises again I get snow then sun then  
rain again.  Over and over.  I wonder how the roads will be for tomorrow's  
trip into town for supplies?
    Until next week stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
