[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    Conditions were good on both bands.  Lots of strong signals from the 
East.  QSB was slow and steady.  I was asked if I took rig information.  
At that point I realized I knew what kind of rig each of you was 
running.  We used to exchange serial numbers before the K3 came along.  
Then more of them checked in.  Over time we ceased checking numbers and 
morphed a bit.  Now we exchange tidbits of information on this and 
that.  When a new rig or antenna pops up it gets mentioned too.  Facts 
build up over the years :)  Maybe I have done this too long; I know my 
hand was complaining by the end of the second net.  Hopefully, as 
conditions improve, I can convince a few of you to call from farther 
east or south.  That gives another perspective and a longer baseline.  
Something to consider.

   I know some of you will have a chance to view the Jupiter Saturn 
conjunction.  The rings will appear closer than some of the moons of 
Jupiter.  I doubt they mean the Galilean moons :)  Good luck and clear 
skies to you.

Merry Christmas.

    Until next week 73,

        Kevin.  KD5ONS
