[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevin]

Good Evening,

   It has been cool and wet.  Today was the first sunny day all week.  I 
walked out on to my deck and startled a deer snoozing under it.  She 
burst out of the ferns and bounced like a pogo stick to the east.  A few 
minutes later I looked out of a window and saw her eating some bush.  
Hunters drove by a few times but she stayed far from the road.

   The sun was active this week.  A number of sunspot groups along with 
glancing CMEs.  Solar flux had risen to 100, it is currently at 91 sfu.  
The sun angle is changing so I expect 40 meters will change during the 
net.  Early is good.

    It is getting easier to use single lever paddles.  The space between 
my thumb and fore finger is much less than with two paddles.  The more I 
relax the easier it becomes.  With practice I am not thinking about how 
to form a character as often.  Context switching between words and 
characters causes me sending problems.  Laughing affects spacing too; I 
use the CW decode mechanism on my K3 to check it.


Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
   7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

    73,
       Kevin. KD5ONS

She had that Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red

She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo

She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
