[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    Signals were stronger than last week with less noise on both bands.  
QSB was a little higher on forty meters.  Most of you reported very nice 
weather.  Even out west the weather is not too bad once you allow for 
all the smoke.  It certainly makes working outside difficult.  Staying 
inside helps but I still have a stuffy nose and a mild headache.  My 
begonias don't like the smoke either, they are rapidly losing blossoms.

    The forty meter net improves as the days grow shorter.  I was able 
to reach Texas again.  Hopefully there will be some new sunspots this 
week.  That would help my reach.


   On 14050.8 kHz at 2200z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

NO8V - John - MI

AB9V - Mike - IN

K6XK - Roy - IA


   On 7047.5 kHz at 0045z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

K6PJV - Dale - CA

W8OV - Dave - TX


I plan to work inside again this week.  I need to collect wood but 
exercise in these smoky conditions makes the headaches worse. A week of 
rain starting tomorrow night will help.  Maybe they will slow the fires 
in the Cascades and clear our skies.  2020 has been quite a year.  I'm 
waiting for January so we can start over.

    Until next week 73,

       Kevin.  KD5ONS
