[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Afternoon,
    The weather is balmy and the wind is gentle.  It is amazing what 72  
degrees F feels like after months of cold and wet.  Very sunny and bright  
today.  As I was driving in my truck it got hot in the cab.  I am just not  
prepared for the heat of a 70 degree day :)  For my examination of a  
weather satellite image it appears the Oregon weather has moved southward  
into California.  I am sure they will enjoy having full reservoirs later  
in the season.  I saw Mt Hood today for the first time in a very long  
time.  It is snow covered down to where I can no longer see it.  Our  
reservoirs will be full too.

    I just read an email about good propagation on the bands.  I hope they  
will stay that way for tomorrow's nets.  I plan to be back home in time  
for the first net tomorrow but I may be detained.  A very rare Sunday  
errand may take longer than I plan; but I will do my best to get home  
before 3 PM.  I was hiking yesterday during the first hint of warmth.  It  
was fun to see the ferns unrolling and how very green it is now.  Then the  
biting flies descended and drove me inside.  Now to mount some more  
shelving near this bench so I can put at least one rig next to these  
computers.

    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

    Stay well,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
