[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement (tentative)

[kevinr]

Good Afternoon,
     I have to get this out now before I lose power.  When I went to bed 
last night the forecast for today was light snow with little to no 
accumulation.  The forecast I read this morning was very different.  
Four to seven inches of snow today may take down my antennas and power 
lines down where they are not buried.  After I heard on the radio the 
snow was landing in Portland I knew I was in for more than I had planned 
for.  Luckily (?) the snow is going to be followed by a lot of rain.  
The temperature will rarely be below freezing so this will create a big 
mess.  Good thing I don't need to go anywhere for a few days.

    All that being said I will try to run the nets tomorrow.  If I have 
to run from battery power I will probably be at 25 or 50 watts instead 
of my usual 100 watts.  Sorry for the break, I just went to check the 
battery bank.  I switched to full charge rate so it will be ready for 
tomorrow if the power does not go out too soon.  I should be on the air 
tomorrow as long as the snow filled branches do not strip my antenna loose.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
