[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    After two weeks a new sunspot has appeared.  We are also in a stream 
of solar wind.  Our ionosphere is being refreshed.  The auroral oval is 
strong at the moment.  Hopefully things will settle down a bit for 
tomorrow.  Noise levels are still fairly low maybe the signals will pop 
out.  I expect both bands to change during the nets due to the time of 
year.  Twenty meters has been getting longer but I'm reaching different 
parts of the US.

    By the time the snow stopped falling I had about a foot.  Even with 
the rain there is still a three to four inch covering.  One morning I 
turned the faucet only to hear a gurgle.  I slogged through the sloppy 
snow to the pump house only to find the relay stuck on.  OK, a reset.  
But that didn't work.  Neither did my confused glare.  So I shut off the 
power to the pump and did other chores.  A few hours later I turned the 
breaker back on and reset the relay.  A few iterations of that and now 
the water is running.  For some reason it thought the well had run dry 
in the rainy season.  Maybe the confused glare helped.

Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday  (2 PM PST Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0000z Monday  (4 PM PST Sunday)

73,

    Kevin. KD5ONS
