[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,

    It was a good day for a hike.  Warm enough to not wear a jacket, but 
cold enough to limit the biting flies.  The soil is decompressing from 
the snow; the sword fern are springing up. Some bracken fern are pushing 
free, but mostly the forest floor is open.  The seasonal stream in the 
northwest corner of my property is running.  On the way back I heard an 
odd bird call.  Suddenly I was sitting by mom in a blind, next to the 
marsh on grandpa's homestead in North Dakota.  "An American Bittern.  
That doesn't make sense.  I'm in a forest."  Then I got a look at the 
bird.  It was a crow giving the call I had not heard in years.  I know 
they mimic but where did he hear a bittern around here?

    The sun is active.  It has tossed so many CMEs in the last while 
that they cannot keep track of them all.  However, one is due to hit 
Earth later tomorrow.  Hopefully this week's blast will hold off until 
after all the nets.  In any case we can test the ionosphere's condition 
tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Please join us on (or near):

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
  7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

    73,
       Kevin. KD5ONS
