[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[kevin]

Good Evening,

     Dry, powder snow fell throughout the week.  Today it got sunny so 
most of it fell from the trees.  There is still about two feet left with 
another few feet on the way.  Depending upon the temperature I may need 
to shovel the roof.  If I have a lot of snow when it starts raining it 
gets heavy, very fast.

    The sun has been active this week.  At least two RF blackouts thus 
far.  A stream of solar wind is due on the 27th.  That may affect the 
forty meter net.  Flux is not has high as last week but it is OK.  
Sunset is changing quickly so forty meters will take a dive at some 
point during the net.  Earlier is better.



Please join us on (or near) :

14050 kHz at 2300z Sunday  (3 PM PST Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0100z Monday  (5 PM PST Sunday)



73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
