[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    Conditions were as predicted: low noise, weak signals.  What I had 
not expected was the depth of the QSB.  S7 or 8 one moment to S2 or 
below the next.  Lower noise helped me dig out weaker signals.  Forty 
meters was its usual self - changing within a minute.  For some reason 
the sun has taken a vacation.

    However, there were reports of rain, smoke, and fog.  My brother 
told me of the smoke in southern Wisconsin.  I had not been paying 
attention to the fires in British Columbia.  The wind shifted a few days 
ago, now coming from the southeast.  This has kept the cooler clouds off 
shore but aimed the smoke from California and southern Oregon at me.  A 
medium orange sun, with scratchy eyes and a sore throat.

Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said: “one can’t believe
impossible things.”

“I daresay you haven’t had much practice,” said the Queen. “When I was
your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I’ve
believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
