[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for December 23rd & 24th, 2012

Good Evening,
     Both bands had high noise levels.  On twenty it was mentioned by 
those who checked in; I did not notice it on my end.  On forty noise was 
on both ends.  The most amazing check in was from Corvallis, Oregon.  
There is at least one mountain in the way so it was not ground wave.  
The first hop on forty lands somewhere in California. Luckily Brian 
relayed Dan back to me.

     The temperature has bounced around freezing for the last week. With 
plenty of moisture coming in off the Pacific I have either been pelted 
with pellets or drenched by a deluge or sunk deep in heavy snow.  I have 
gotten a lot of snow if you want to measure the inches as they fell.  
However, most of that is now far downstream in either the Tualatin or 
the Nehalem rivers.  Tomorrow I'm due for a large amount of snow so I 
will have a very White Christmas :)

    On to the lists =>

   On 14050 kHz at 2300z:
AC5P - Mike - OK - K3 - 2170

       73,

Have a very Merry Christmas!
