[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for May 8th & 9th, 2011

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    A pleasant day today.  Chilly, with rain, but there were openings in  
the clouds which let light blink through every so often.  About one minute  
of sun for every hour today.  I received reports of temperatures ranging  
 from 96 degrees down to 60 degrees; none of which matched my low 50 degree  
day.  I am glad it has stopped snowing for a week and hope that condition  
continues until November :)
    Conditions on twenty meters were good for all contacts.  The lowest RST  
report I gave was 569.  Only slight QSB with very little noise.  Forty  
meters had its normal amount of noise but conditions favored only West  
Coast stations.  I was able to land the NCS of the Elecraft SSB net but  
totally forgot I had never logged him on his K3 thus missing the  
opportunity to get his serial number.  Sorry Phil.

    On to the lists =>

   On 14049.5 kHz at 2200z
NO8V - John - MI - K3 - 820
K1THP - Dave - CT - K3 - 686
N0TA - John - CO - K3 - 994
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K3 - 457
K4JPN - Steve - GA - K2 - 1422
W8OV - Dave - TX - K3 - 3139


   On 7045 kHz at 0000z
K6PJV - Dale - CA - K3 - 1183
K0DTJ - Brian - CA - K3 - 4113
W6JDB - Jay - OR - K3 - 1288
NS7P - Phil - OR - K3 - ?
KD5O(?) - Gary - ?

    I was unable to log the last contact due to missing his call three  
times.  I have KD5Q and KD5 and KD5O none of which lead to a Gary.  Gary,  
if you read these reports please send me your information via email so I  
can fill in my database correctly.
    The frogs in the nearby ponds have been silent the last few nights.  I  
do believe it is too cool for them to sing.  I have heard one local grouse  
drumming away but he has moved off into the distance.  I was planning on  
stalking him but now he is too far off to determine a route to him.  Maybe  
later he'll return to my property.
    Until next week stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
