[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

Twenty meters was surprising.  Brian came on early with a very loud 
signal.  Dave and Roy were both weaker than normal.  Easy copy because 
the band was not as noisy.  John did have the noise of a storm covering 
him even though his signal was good too.  Jim had a great signal but was 
about to melt from 104 degree heat. His pool was calling him.

Forty meters was not like the last three weeks.  It had noise on it.  A 
storm well off in the distance, not the dead quiet of before.  The QSB 
had a 3 s-unit range but copy was good.

Between nets I went out on the deck.  It had warmed up enough for the 
butterflies to start working the clover.  One of them flew up into a fir 
tree.  That drew my eye to a smaller than normal hummingbird.  In shades 
of gray.  An immature hummingbird learning how to fly.  I'm not sure 
which species.  There are two here: Rufous and Anna's, both small, both 
colorful.  This one was a study by Ansel Adams, "Hummingbird in a shaft 
of light".  Maybe I can see it as it gains its adult plumage.

Until next week stay cool, drink your fluids, get on the air, 73
