[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr at coho.net]

Good Evening,

    I have been scanning the lower bands since mid-December.  For the 
last two weeks activity on 160 and 80 meters has slowed.  I was hoping 
for better.  Upon checking SpaceWeather.com I find the sun is still 
streaming ions our way; in fact there is a wind at the moment.

     I am also tracking an incoming storm.  When I first saw the 
forecast I thought there was a typo: 20 inches of snow tomorrow? Eeeek!  
That means I'll need to shovel the roof at least once. Right now it is 
in the 40s and raining cats and dogs.  How and when the temperature 
drops below freezing will make all the difference.  Freezing rain tested 
the antennas again just a few days ago.

    Because of the lack of propagation on 40 meters I have moved it 
forward in time by an hour.  So those of you who have not eaten too much 
tomorrow can find me a bit earlier.  If I am not on the air it is 
because of the storm.  I expect to lose power and maybe my antennas, 
it's just a matter of when.


Please join us tomorrow on:

    14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday (3 PM PST Sunday)
      7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (5 PM PST Sunday)

     73,
         Kevin. KD5ONS
