[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,
    Nice rainy day.  Good day to stay inside.  Well, that is not what I 
did.  I went out for a trip and then a hike and then a little light 
exercise with a sledge hammer.  There is more than one way to stay 
warm.  Lots of elk sign but I never see them.  Good thing, if I could 
see them so could the hunters.  Even the the sign is quite fresh they 
avoid us humans.

     Propagation was mostly good this week.  One day it was gone and 
then the next they were back again.  I have scanned the bands during 
this contest but have not heard too many contesters.  Maybe I got the 
times wrong but it could be the bands are not good.  I'll check again in 
a few minutes.

    Due to daylight savings time changing to standard time I had to 
change my announcement.  Because the longer break does not work as well 
for me I moved the second net one hour earlier where it had been for 
quite a few years.  Propagation on forty meters has gotten better too 
with the shortening days.  Hopefully these new times will work well 
until next spring.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
