[Elecraft] Evening Net Invitation notes, addenda, and errata

[kevinr]

Good Afternoon,

    I have received a few messages about activities on 40 meters at my 
chosen time and frequency.  CWT may push us up in frequency but I don't 
want to get too far into the digital portion of the band.  The old 
novice band may be better between 7100 and 7125 if the QRS folks don't 
mind.  I plan to start around 7050 kHz and see how it goes.  The CWT 
activity may not reach that high.

   As for procedures I will start with a preamble of some sort 
explaining what we're trying to do.  Then call CQ.  I'll handle the 
first round logging questions and comments.  Then I will pass net 
control to whomever volunteers (or the one I pick :)  NCS duties are not 
tough.  Just call CQ and take notes.  Work your group and choose the 
next victim :)  When that thins out pass control back to me and I'll 
list questions, answers, and comments.  One more call and then let the 
net go free.  I have never closed the Elecraft CW Net, I just let it go 
free. Occasionally contacts continue between the attendees.  WAS 
contacts happen too.  It just feels wrong to assume one can control 
activity.  It is hard enough to maintain control of a net :)

   Evening net starts at 8 PM PDT (0300z) on or near 7050 kHz unless 
forced to move into the 7100-7125 range.

   73,

      Kevin.  KD5ONS
