[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevin]

Good Evening,

    It has been an interesting week.  Trees kept collapsing from the 
snow load.  They take out the power lines causing day long power 
outages.  Power would come back on, last an hour or so, and go out again 
for another twelve hours.  Wind is kicking up right now so I may or may 
not have power for tomorrow's nets.  The forecast is for 37 degrees F so 
it is a race between the wind and the thaw.  However, I have improved my 
wood stove cooking techniques.  I have also read my way through about a 
foot of the magazine stack.

   The sun has calmed down for the new year.  The sunspot number is half 
of what it was last week but the flux index is still over 100.  There is 
some auroral activity so QSB will be present.  The kinglets have 
returned.  The snow cover lets me identify them more easily.  They are 
exploiting the same bushes they were last month, only now they're 
covered with snow.  All the branches are covered with snow so birds 
jostle for preferred perches.  Or they misjudge the snow for the solid 
part of the branch, foiling their perfect landing.  The deer and elk are 
easier to see too.


Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday  (3 PM PST Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0030z Monday  (4:30 PM PST Sunday)

    73,
       Kevin. KD5ONS

all nearness pauses, while a star can grow

all distance breathes a final dream of bells;
perfectly outlined against afterglow
are all amazing and the peaceful hills

and history immeasurably is
wealthier by a single sweet day’s death:
as not imagined secrecies comprise

goldenly huge whole the upfloating moon.
