[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    A few minutes after the second net I started dinner.  Then I walked 
out onto the deck.  I took a few steps when I heard the crack of a 
branch.  Deer don't do that.  I turned and saw a round black shape which 
ran like a bear.  Hmmm... black bear, cool.  Not very big but I haven't 
seen one in many years.  Nothing much for it to eat so it must have been 
moving through the corridor between watering holes.  The salmon berries 
are too green but getting larger.

   Twenty meters went well as I compared my two antennas.  Deep QSB on 
everyone.  Topics include spending time at the bench, a ten meter 
opening, and crop planting schedules.  Any product which depends on 
grain will be effected.

    Cool weather is easing slowly.  A few of you are getting down right 
hot.  But 80 in Georgia in June is not that bad though the humidity must 
be in the mid 90s.  If you don't move too fast it's comfortable.

    Forty meters worked well to only a couple folks.  I heard nothing 
else.  Both antennas worked about the same.  QSB would cause one to work 
better than the other so I kept switching.  I would send on whichever 
heard the best.  The rebuilt antenna works better north south than it 
does east west.  If I could only launch it  50 feet higher into that fir 
tree.
