[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[James Walker]

Every Sunday, I look forward to your description of conditions there in your neighborhood as a part of your invitation to participate in the CW nets. You have a thoughtful eye for the conditions and an accomplished talent for expressing what you see. Thank you for your energy and support of the Elecraft community and our hobby.

I watched a Red-breasted sapsucker make his characteristic row of holes around a tree.  First one tree, then the next, all within easy view so I could check his field marks.  Woodpecker #8 on this list https://wildlifeinformer.com/woodpeckers-in-oregon/  While I have not seen him before, I have heard his call; part of which mimics the CW you hear the day after a contest in any rhythmic sound. You know it is CW, you are just not sure which  language they are using :)

A few of the spots could flare but any CME would miss us.  However, if an X class flare erupts it blanks the hemisphere facing the sun no matter where the spot is placed.  I wonder if radio communication is even possible near a class O star.  We're lucky to be orbiting a more modest star.
