[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    Both bands were fairly quiet with little QSB.  It was nice to hear 
about sunshine when I was sitting in dense fog.  By the way I checked my 
stereo and found I had heard the CW signal when I was listening to 910 
AM.  910 and 1817 kHz are related.  Now to check K7RAT's propagation 
during the Series.

    It got me thinking about running on 160 meters.  K6TR did mention it 
was contagious.  My elevation should help as well as my lack of 
neighbors.  I need to measure my antenna and see how much to cut off of 
it.  The lowest SWR the ATU can attain is 2.4:1  The local trees could 
act as armatures for a vertical.  I think I can teach a squirrel to 
hoist a line to the top but getting him to jump off a limb to carry it 
back down would take time.  Maybe a bow and arrow and some fishing line.


   On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

K4TO - Dave - KY

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K6XK - Roy - IA

AC5P - Mike - OK

K4JPN - Steve - GA


   On 7047.5 kHz at 0000z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

K6PJV - Dale - CA

K0JFJ - Nick - TX

K4TO - Dave - KY


   I thought of two seasonal events for the end of October.

W0O from Frankenstein, MO

NA5N's Zombie Shuffle from Southern NM the Land of Enchantments

I am sure there are more.

    Until next week stay well,

        Kevin.  KD5ONS
