[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    While scouting out trees to thin I found a number of new elk 
trails.  One poor alder tree had very little bark on the lower four feet 
of its trunk.  They like the alder thickets when they grow larger than 
about six inches in diameter.  The lower branches die off and a nice 
sleeping area forms.  It's also a good place for cedar and hemlock to 
get a start.  Douglas fir likes a lot of sun so they compete for 
openings in the canopy.  Cedar and hemlock like it moister and well 
shaded when they sprout.

    There was a period of solar wind activity this week so there are 
some ions floating around.  Maybe there will be enough of them left for 
the nets.  I am going to move the forty meter net frequency a bit higher 
to 7047 kHz.  This may eliminate some of the QRM.  If that doesn't work 
I'll need to find something else to try.  Luckily the bands are pretty 
quiet other than the thunderstorms over the plains.

Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
   7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
