[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,

    The sun is acting up.  We are due for some effects from a CME 
sometime tomorrow afternoon.  Hmm... the timing seems suspicious. A few 
large sunspot groups are moving around the limb of the sun. A few more 
are moving in from the other side.  The sunspot number is a bit lower 
with flux at 127.  I listened to a contest on twenty meters earlier 
today, conditions were so so with a lot of hiss.

    Winter and spring are in competition.  A few days of sun, followed 
by snow and rain, then a day of sun, followed by more snow.  I am glad I 
am not the forecaster :)  Buds on my lilacs are getting green.  Our 
burrowing rodents love to eat them so mine are in pots.  They are from 
my grandfather's homestead in North Dakota.  They are healthy and need 
to be transplanted into multiple new pots.  I will try a cleaver to 
separate them.


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

I made some animated videos of how a sine wave fills a doublet during 
the first microsecond.  That is long enough for a few full cycles at 7 
MHz.  You will see how resonant and non-resonant antennas react.
