[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB net cancelled this week

[Edward R Cole]

I figured it must be cancelled.  I was planning to check-in (have not 
done so for awhile).

When I tuned to 14.303.5 there were two very strong stations sitting 
on 14.304 (S9+20 on my K3) and their sidebands extended well beyond 
+/- 3KHz making it difficult to look for the net.  I narrowed down bw 
to 2.0 KHz but still did not remove splatter (and pumping of my AGC I 
would guess).  I did not listen for callsigns from these two stations 
but guessing somewhere in the southern US (not local in AK).  Checked 
and 10m is open.  Monitoring 50.125, today (6-element yagi +125w).

Probably without QRM would have been super conditions for qrp 
check-ins today (hearing coast-to-coast).  An hour later I began 
hearing the contesting and figured the net was cancelled as a result.

Maybe next weekend (post Thanksgiving)?

Nice day for working outside on my 16-foot dish (sunny with 27F+ 10mph wind).
