[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for July 1st & 2nd, 2012

[kevinr]

Good Morning,
    It is too cold in here to type well.  With night time temperatures 
in the mid 40s the house gets quite chilly each morning.  Right now it 
has warmed up to 50 degrees.  I cannot wait for summer to get here with 
a few days in the 70s or even in the 80s (it could happen).  But the 
forecast is for more cold and more rain.  It is very hard to believe 
there is a record heat wave going on in the US when it is so cold and 
wet here.
    Propagation has been bouncing up and down lately.  Sunday's nets 
were tough.  On twenty meters I got one check in from either coast with 
no one in between.  I read there were some storms out east but I could 
not hear them.  Here our storms are milder due to the much lower 
temperatures.  I keep looking forward to the 60 degree days coming up.  
Hopefully the house will warm up enough I won't have to keep the fire 
going to stay warm.

    On to the lists =>

   On 14050 kHz at 2200z:
K0DTJ - Brian - CA - K3 - 4113
K1THP - Dave - CT - K3 - 686

   On 7045 kHz at 0200z:
K6PJV - Dale - CA - K3 - 1183
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K3 - 457
NS7P - Phil - OR - K3 - 1286
K0DTJ - Brian - CA - K3 - 4113
N0TA - John - CO - K3 - 994

    If any of you want to cool off and feel rain on your faces come to 
the Pacific Northwest.  Our summer is in abeyance for at least another 
month.  But once the clouds clear I am sure the temperatures will 
quickly rise into the 70s (cross fingers here).  This year I am heating 
my greenhouse and the plants are enjoying warm roots.  They are doing 
well and feeding me too.  Plus working in the greenhouse gets me warmed up.

Until next week,
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
