[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevinr]

Good Evening,

    Today was at or near 100% humidity, which drains my reactions and my 
brain.  Low blood sugar added extra dits, or whole words. Occasionally 
my mind would start spelling something else entirely. Soon we will 
switch to the dry season like those farther south so I get a reprieve.

    Medium to deep QSB made life interesting, there were a few summer 
storms out there causing problems too.  Roy described drought 
conditions.  I would not mind at all if these clouds of mine moved their 
way east.  They are wet enough to make the journey.  Steve alternated 
between ESP and S5 with rapid QSB. Dave found me right after the net and 
mentioned I had come up out of the noise.   On the next net Brian told 
me I had been ESP to him on 20, at best.  On forty he was S7 to me with 
mild QSB.  Jim came next with a fine signal from Idaho at 569 and slow 
QSB.  Dale tried to win the high temperature award but that had been 
taken by Roy.  Dwight was truly ESP.  I know he replied to one of my 
calls but I could not work him.  Forty meters was indeed moving as we 
progressed.

    When the rainy season breaks I will get back to antenna work. I want 
four choices by the time the snow falls.
