Hello Kevin;
Thank you for the managing the Elecraft CW net! I have been listening for
the past several months but am not able to hear you.
I'm wondering if an Elecraft CW operator that has a good location and antenna
might volunteer to be a CW relay station with you?
Similar to the Elecraft SSB net.
I think keeping it very simple for example just send their Call, WX, State to
the relay station after Kevin completes his check-ins.
Ie for me, after I hear the Relay Station call, with QSP? I would send the
following: QSP de WM5F WX Snow ID
The relay station would pass WM5F Snow ID on to Kevin. Kevin would
acknowledge with a simple QSL.
So is anyone interested to try it this Sunday? Is there a better way to
conduct a relay message for a net?
Much Regards,
Dwight (WM5F)

Good Evening,
The Elecraft CW Net is a directed net. There is no need to call CQ to get
my attention; my location allows me to hear very well. Just wait for me to
call for check-ins then send your call or a part of it as a hail sign. This
allows me to gather two to three stations and work them in order. Once I have
cleared my list I call for more check ins. I repeat this until I get no
response three times. If you call CQ during the net I'm not sure what you
intend. Are you trying to get my attention while I am working other operators?
Or are you calling your own net? If you wait for my call up sequence and
respond when I send your call sign it is much easier to direct the net.

K4JPN - Steve - GA
WS1L - Chuck - MS
KF0QS - Bernard - CO
WU0A - John - CO
KC1ACL - Steven - NM
J?5?EG - ??? - ??? The QRM was too heavy to copy this op even though we tried
five times.
Good signal though at S5 or better.

Twenty meters was loud. Jupiter was mentioned as a culprit. With all the
clouds here I have a hard time keeping track of the moon let alone the planets.
The QSB was slow but Roy had a fast flutter on top of his signal. The solar
flux index has gone up from where it had been stuck for so many months. From
69 a few months ago to 74 today. A bit of solar wind is enough to support
these bands for another week. I know a good contest lights up the ionosphere
too.
Forty meters was less noisy with slow QSB. Copy was very good. Most of the
talk was about snow or rain. A few rare folks actually have sunlight. Here
there is about two inches of sloppy snow. The wind is rising too so I better
put antenna work on my list.
Until next week stay warm 73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
