[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB 20 meter net - Easter Sunday April 4, 2021

[Jim White - NC0JW]

There were 17 check ins for the Easter Sunday April 4, 2021 edition of the Elecraft SSB 20 meter net. Our “normal’ net control station Eric WB9JNZ was enjoying Easter with family and friends so Steve WM6P stepped to the plate as net control to do battle with the propagation gods.  As usual several relay stations were able to assist with check ins.  Thanks to Steve and the relay stations for helping out in Eric’s absence. 

As in past weeks QSB was the main challenge during the net.  Propagation seemed to favor east coast stations today.
