[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    The new time for the twenty meter net worked well.  Signals were 
clear, easy copy, even with deep QSB.  I gave one report as the range S2 
to S8.  The new time for the forty meter net was not as good.  Signals 
had the same deep QSB but were weaker with more band noise.  Now to 
figure out when forty meters works better.  I am not sure whether to 
move it earlier or later to get the best propagation paths.

    It has gotten cold enough to prevent all but the most hardy spiders 
from building webs.  I still get one in the face now and then.  There 
are some mushrooms but only a few scattered chanterelles.  Thinning 
trees has changed how the deer walk near the house.  The new path is 
only a few feet from where I am sitting.  A few days ago I was 
interrupted by a doe browsing on a shrub a few feet away.  She ate her 
way around the house from window to window.  I lost sight of her as she 
walked around back. I got lost in work until another ear flick out the 
left hand window got my attention.  Another deer.  Only this one was not 
acting the same.  Then I noticed two little buttons on his head. The 
shortest antlers I had ever seen; they just barely poked out of the 
fur.  He was following the scent trail of the doe not the path she had 
walked.  A minute or two later he was off behind the house too.

    Until next week,

        73,

             Kevin.  KD5ONS
