[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for March 13th & 14th, 2011

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    While the first net was plagued with QRM the second had poor  
propagation and QRN to contend with.  But I was not skunked.  In all the  
years ECN has been running that has never once happened.  It was tough for  
me to hear during the first net because the winds were so high it was  
quite noisy even with the full coverage headphones.  I check many times to  
see if my antenna was still up.  Then once again after the second net was  
over.  Luckily the winds have died down and the wire still remains in  
place.

    On to the lists =>

    Maybe next week conditions will be better and the check ins will grow.   
We shall see.  Now that spring is coming there will be longer days with  
more sunshine.  The first flower shoots have started up here.  I hope the  
cold does not return to bite them.  I hope you all have a good week and  
get on the air a few times.
    Until next week stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
