[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Fred Jensen]

Bob, N6TV, did a full-bore single-op effort at W7RN and the remote was 
thus inop so I did about 3 hours on and off in the IARU from home with 
K3/100 and my HOA-Stealth.**  All CW, all search and pounce:

         Band     QSOs     Pts  ITU   HQ
          3.5       3       3    1    1
            7      22      48    5    0
           14      38     106    8    2
           21       1       5    1    0
        Total      64     162   15    3

             Score : 2,916

QSO's included CE, OA, LU, KH6, PY, and ZF.  I'd have done much better 
on 80 except I fell asleep.  Sunspots help of course but the bands were 
still usable in June when the SSN was exactly zero for most of the month.

**"HOA-Stealth" is an 80-10 EFHW strung on electric fence insulators 
along the top of our wooden fence at about 1.8 meters AGL.
