[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Afternoon,

    Yesterday's twenty meter net had fair to good reception on a clear 
band.  The forty meter net had a few moments of good reception.  Then 
propagation dropped off of a cliff.  Afterward I received a few emails 
describing what was heard on their end. Fine signals while I was 
starting up the net and then I disappeared.  Changing the time is once 
again in order.  Since 0100z is very close to forty meter's cutoff maybe 
thirty minutes earlier would be better.  Say 0030z for next week.  Any 
votes, advice, opinions, or sage apocrypha would be appreciated.

    I am looking out the window to the east watching the sun work its 
way higher up the nearby mountain.  It is 3 PM and sunset is starting in 
the valleys.  Can't get used to this new time and it has been a few 
weeks.  We could stay with daylight savings time throughout the winter 
with no arguments from me.

    I got three snow reports yesterday with night time temperatures 
approaching zero.  However Roy reports feeling much safer in his 
community with a few inches of snow on the ground. With those 
temperatures I would be making friends with my plumber.

    Until next week stay warm and stay safe,

       73,

           Kevin.  KD5ONS
