[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevin]

Good Evening,

    It was a busy, chilly week.  On Tuesday I found myself in a field of 
elk.  They are surprisingly noisy.  As they diffuse through my property 
they test the rotted slash.  Now I have more paths to walk and there is 
less forage.  On Wednesday I saw a large covey of California quail 
pecking gravel from the road.  I have never seen them at this elevation 
before.  Then, early Thursday morning well before dawn, I was awakened 
by a strange noise.

    The sun has a few sunspot groups but solar wind is due to sweep the 
ionosphere this weekend.  Things could get noisy but we will still enjoy 
QSB.  Hopefully twenty meters will work better than last week.  When I 
hear little noise I usually work fewer stations.  Forty meters runs 
shortly after local sunset. Conditions change quickly as the net 
proceeds.  Soon I will have to move it forward 30 minutes.  My vertical 
antennas are surviving windstorms pretty well; doublets fall to flying 
tree limbs within a year.  Past antennas provide plenty of material to 
make new ones.


Please join us on (or near):

73,

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion,
    Which makes thee startle,
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
    An’ fellow-mortal!
