[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net options

[Kenneth Christiansen]

Hi Kevin and the group

I tried to call the ECN tonight. At 23:00 on 14.050 and again on at 02:00 on 7.045. I did not hear any answers although I do have a high noise background living in the City. My P3 said -110 on 20 and -105 on 40. I was running 500 watts from my K line to my Hy-Tower Vertical on both bands.

On 40 I did have a QSO with N6BS after I gave up on the net.

I hope you get your storm damaged antenna back up again for next week. 

73 and good luck getting your antenna fixed.

That night a number of trees exploded under the weight; twenty foot sections of their trunks turning into shrapnel.  Branches breaking under the load of snow and ice also kept me awake.  The next morning I found both of my doublets broken.  The 14 ga THHN had parted in the middle where a branch had gone through it.  Currently each of the three guy lines is under an inch or two of ice.  Hopefully the coming thaw will let me repair them.  One interesting note: the broken trees failed from their compressed side toward the side under tension.
