[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

     Writing that always gives me the chills; like Alfred is about to 
start his monologue.  My parents never should have let me stay up that 
late.  Scared me silly.  Be that as it may the week has progressed.  
Cool, rainy, but pleasant.  K4 chatter remains high as does Elecraft's 
customer service rep.  I think they do a fine job if you need another 
data point.

   The sun, however, has a less reputable history.  Sunspot number: 
ZERO, 10.7 cm flux: 67 SFU (ucky), and the Tunguska blast was featured 
on spaceweather.com  Life (sigh).  But there is an upside to this gloom, 
the bands are fairly quiet so even the least of us can be heard.  As 
long as that special path exists you can work QRP, QRO, or higher and 
get your point across.

   The pileated woodpeckers are making a home close to mine.  The 
loggers left an old stump (60 feet high but it has no top) and they are 
hammering their way into it.  From what I've seen they can cut prime 
timber at the rate of eight inches a day.  A dead tree carves much 
faster.  Soon there will be more of them to cackle away.  If anything 
Woody the Woodpecker has a watered down version of the species.

Please join us on:

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

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
