[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,

    It snowed for much of the week.  The trees would fill with about 
four inches, their limbs would bend almost to the ground.  I saw a 
number of birds taking advantage of the cover during the heaviest 
snowfall.  Some perched, looking forlorn, while the others kept 
searching the cracks in the bark for insects.  Then a slight rise in 
temperature would cause the snow to release and fall to the ground.  
Currently it is raining but the ground is still covered with snow.

    The sun is spotless again with some activity.  The auroral oval 
shows the ionosphere is charged.  Lower activity keeps the QSB slower 
while the bands are more quiet.  The sun is moving north again.  Days 
are longer and sunsets are later.  Forty meters is time sensitive; about 
thirty minutes before local sunset brings better conditions.  One hour 
before sunset is too early, while right at sunset propagation changes 
quickly.

   After reading many recommendations for the Sony MDR-7506 headphones I 
bought a pair.  They are very comfortable.  CW sounds good in them but 
so does a wide range of music.  Chopin to Blue Oyster Cult :)  They came 
with an adapter for the plug to switch from 1/8" to 3/8".  That is not 
unusual, what is new is the way it connects.  Instead of simply plugging 
on there are a few threads so the adapter is firmly attached if needed.  
Now to test if I can hear a little deeper into the noise.



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

Two broken tigers on fire in the night
Flicker their souls to the wind
We wait in the lines for the final approach to begin
It's been almost four years that I've carried a gun
At home, it will almost be spring
The flames of the tigers are lighting the road to Berlin
