[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    QSB was the order of the day.  I gave reports of S0 to S7 or S0 to 
S5.  There were some atmospheric quirks too.  Odd sounding whistles and 
some buzzing.  I was told of lots of lightning east of the Mississippi 
but I heard none of it.  I was expecting more storm noise on 40 meters 
but there I heard the same screeches and buzzing noises.  However, I was 
able to work more than a few of you.  The QSB just makes it more 
interesting.  I did get the coldest spot of the day award too.  I would 
gladly lose.  52 degrees a few days before summer is not normal, even 
for the Pacific Northwest.  Luckily the berry bushes don't mind.  The 
thimble berries are full of white blossoms and the salmon berries are 
full of green and a couple orange berries.  The huckleberry bushes are 
done getting pollinated by the bees but not berries as of yet.  The 
strawberries are almost done blooming too so they should have a decent 
yield in a few weeks time.  No black berries within close proximity.  
The bears, coyotes, and deer love eating those long before I have a chance.
