[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,
     Propagation has been up and down lately with our active sun tossing 
ions our way on a very regular basis.  A CME is on the way due to give 
our ionosphere a glancing blow.  From what I have read it will hit after 
both nets tomorrow.

     It got very warm today; all the way to 71 degrees.  But the hottest 
day of this cycle will be tomorrow when it is supposed to break 80 
degrees.  Just two nights ago there was a freeze with frost all over the 
next morning.  Weather sure is odd in Oregon - if you don't like it wait 
fifteen minutes :)

    Because the sun keeps rising earlier and setting later 40 meters has 
no chance of working unless I move the second net closer to dusk.  That 
makes it even later further east where 40 should be open.  It's just a 
test folks, if it doesn't work I am open to further suggestions.

Please join us tomorrow afternoon and evening.

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help  (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

Sunday 2200z (Sunday 3 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

       Stay well,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS
