[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,
    Is it just me or is there an immutable order in which songs must be 
played from the White Album?

    After a few hours of antenna work I am sitting here listening to 
tunes.  I have a new 204 foot doublet over the house.  One end to a 
Western redcedar, the other leg to a Nobel fir, while the center is held 
up by a Douglas fir.  Many alder and hemlocks were involved along the 
way by adding further peregrinations to the antenna lifter's journey up 
and down the hills.  I now have capabilities from 160 meters up to 70 
centimeters.  Not quite as steep an inverted V configuration as the 
previous antenna so it may have some preferred directions.

    The sun has been quite active this week.  We are lucky the X class 
flare was pointed elsewhere.  If that one had hit the earth our nets 
would be a lot tougher.  I tuned the rigs to the new antenna and 
listened around some.  Lots of DX on the higher bands and lots of 
interesting new things for me on 160.  This is my first antenna long 
enough to tune on that band.  It will be fun learning how it works.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.
