[Elecraft] the net

[Fred Jensen]

Well ... probably not, at least on 20.  I'm in Auburn 35mi NE of 
Sacramento and the only time I can hear Kevin on 20 is during the Es 
season [August-ish] and then it's hit and miss.  I have a tribander.  In 
the winter, 40 is already going long at net time.  When Tom was still 
alive, he'd call the net from the middle of the country after Kevin got 
as many as he could, which got all of us west coasters.

A low dipole on 40 [NVIS] might work better between N Cal and N OR.
