[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net cancellation

[Tommy Alderman]

Well yes it is Kevin. The CW nets I was in in 1951 were used to pass message
traffic. You would think if there is a 'net' using the Elecraft name, the
least that could be done is to discuss technical issues about Elecraft ham
gear. That I know of, Elecraft does not make thermometers or gauges to
measure snow fall. But the 'law' is, if you are having fun, you should
continue, as I will do with contesting on the weekends, leaving the WARC
band free.

It is interesting to note how peoples' tastes differ.
