[Elecraft] Elecraft CW message

[kevinr at coho.net]

Good Morning,
    Earlier this week I lost the transmit function of my K3 during a 
contact.  In a subsequent email message I was informed the K3 went off 
the air like the house had lost power.  Such was not the case; I was 
copying just fine.  So until the repairs for the transmitter section of 
the K3 can fit into my budget I'll try to run the net with my K2.  
Conditions being what they are it will be difficult to tell if the K2 is 
working or not.
    If this does not succeed I will try one of my other radios next 
week.  None of them had heard of using PIN diodes for T/R switching so 
they drive me crazy with their relays rattling.  Currently the weather 
is trying to switch from winter to spring.  Not all in one day though, 
there are still high winds and rain.  Antenna repair will have to wait 
for a less windy week.
    If anyone is interested in running the Elecraft CW Net or acting as 
a relay station please apply forthwith.  The wages are sufficient to the 
task.

Please join us on:

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
7045 kHz at 0200z Monday (6 PM PST Sunday)

    73,
        Kevin.  KD5ONS
