[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for April 28th & 29th, 2013

[EricJ]

 From So Cal, around the same time as the net (1935-2300z), I worked an 
OX3, ON4, YV5, DG0, IK4, and an OZ1. All with 100% copy exchanging about 
the same amount of information.  Could have worked 20-30 W/A/N/Ks or the 
same number of JA's instead. All on a K2 (sn 567) on JT65A running 5 
watts (and a TH7DXX at 60'). Maybe the net should move to JT65A-HF. (HI)
