[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevin]

Good Evening,

   Conditions were not too bad.  I had expected a CME of more vigor.  
This one rattled the ionosphere but did not leave much behind.  Neither 
I, nor my brother in Wisconsin, saw any aurora. Clear skies with no 
moon, if they had been there ...  However, every signal I copied had 
some form of QSB.  I know I gave one report of S2 to S9.  Some had fast 
QSB, but all had the slower kind.  The low noise level allowed copy to 
S0; the QSB simply added to the fun.

    Forty meters changed as the second net progressed.  Next week some 
of us have a time change.  The first net will stay at 2200z. I think.  
Depends upon where the second net winds up.  I expect the band to be 
changing quickly around net time.  I'll start guarding the frequency 
earlier and see how it goes.  I will solidify this for next week's 
announcement.  Just a little forewarning.  It all depends on the sun 
angle at net time.

    I think I will go searching for the spooks at W0O on forty meters.  
They should be haunting there.

Like a National guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
