[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for March 20th & 21st, 2011

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    The first net went rather well.  Some fading but mostly signals were  
good.  The second net was plagued by RTTY signals.  I found an open  
frequency but then got zero beat a couple times by RTTY stations.  I  
wonder if they were running above 7105 kHz?  There may prove to be an  
option during the heavier contests.
    Looks like spring has come in like a lion for many of us.  The folks in  
Northern California are getting rain and wind.  But out east there is some  
warming.  Only in Southern California did I hear warmer temperatures  
although GA sounded nice at 73 degrees.  Wait, here is an 82 degree report  
 from Oklahoma.

    On to the lists =>

   On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:
NK6A - Don - CA - K3 - 4569
NO8V - John - MI - K3 - 820
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K3 - 457
N0TA - John - CO - K3 - 994

N0AR - Scott - MN - K2 - 4866
N7KRT - Jeff - TX - K2 - 5471
K5MEC/W8OV - Dave - OK

   On 7045.16 kHz at 0000z:
K6PJV - Dale - CA - K3 - 1183
K0DTJ - Brian - CA - K3 - 4113
NO8V - John - MI - K3 - 820

    It would be nice to have a relay station again.  Is anyone in the  
middle part of the continent willing to call the net for a while so the  
folks in my skip zone can get a chance?  It does not take very long and is  
not difficult.  If I can do it I am sure you can too.  Email me if you  
would like to help.
    Until next week stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
