[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report

[kevin]

Good Evening,

    There was less noise than last week and some form of QSB on each of 
you.  A fast flutter with a slower rate added on.  Less noise is always 
helpful.  The sun has obviously moved since the solstice.  Forty meters 
changed over the course of the second net.  One moment people were 
calling the next they were gone.  By March life will get easier, more 
sun will help.

    Weather reports east of the Rockies told me winter is still in 
control.  W8OV mentioned rain, sleet, snow, and ice - however he still 
has an antenna.  K4TO just got his antenna back up, I'm glad it survived 
the week's storms.  Weather here has been nice.  Sunny with temperatures 
over 40 degrees.  If they humidity drops I'll get out the chainsaw to 
clear some of the downed limbs.  Then I can lay down a radial field.

In a flash Buck knew it.  The time had come.  It was to the death.  As 
they circled about, snarling, ears laid back, keenly watchful for the 
advantage, the scene came to Buck with a sense of familiarity.  He 
seemed to remember it all — the white woods, and earth, and moonlight, 
and the thrill of battle.  Over the whiteness and silence brooded a 
ghostly calm.  There was not the faintest whisper of air — nothing 
moved, not a leaf quivered, the visible breaths of the dogs rising 
slowly and lingering in the frosty air.
