[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Please join us on 3784 kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY), 9PM ET Sunday 
(0200Z Monday).

80M has been good at that time of the evening, with strong signals and 
little QRN from thunderstorms these days.

Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE, although I've had 
intermittent antenna issues at high power the last couple of weeks.  
This seems to be an 80M only issue, for some reason.  If I continue to 
have issues this evening, please listen for Eric, WB9JNZ, who did a 
stellar job a few weeks ago of taking over as NCS after my hi-power 
station went down.

We are on day 4 of being on generator power, since SE Michigan received 
about .7 inches of ice this past Wednesday evening.  By 7pm local time 
(EST) we saw several bright flashes in the block across from us, 
followed by several 'booms' and then "lights out". :-(.  There are a lot 
of old trees in this neighborhood, and a number of them came down, or at 
least large pieces of them.
  We had removed two large trees in our yard this past summer, to avoid 
this scenario on our property.  One of the trees was splitting down the 
middle, and the other was threatening our garage.  It is now Sunday 
afternoon, and we noticed a half-dozen bucket trucks roll in to the 
subdivision this morning, so (fingers crossed) maybe we'll be back on 
commercial power by this evening's net.

Hope to see you this evening on the net.

73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
