[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net NON-Announcement

2008-11-01 Thread Kevin Rock
Good Evening,
   The Elecraft CW Net will NOT be run tomorrow due to large numbers of avid 
(rabid?) contesters banging away at their keyboards :)  I am sure they will all 
be just a little crazy by this point in the contest so I don't wish to goad 
them into untoward behaviors.  Next week the nets will be back.  The time will 
change too.  Not the local time but the Zulu time.  As usual I will probably 
get confused but with a week to resolve this issue I may just get it right this 
time.  So same local time (that's the easy part).
   See you all next week,
  Kevin.  KD5ONS

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net NON-Announcement

2008-10-31 Thread Kevin Rock
Hi Folks,
   There seems to be a little contest going on this weekend which will take the 
CW bands by storm.  Relax, enjoy the contest, cut firewood, see the sights, 
your choice.  ECN will be back on the air again next weekend at the same times 
and frequencies as usual.  
   Have a great weekend,
  Kevin.  KD5ONS

Good Evening Javier,
   Here is what I append to the end of my announcements:

 Please join us:
Monday z (Sunday 4:00 PM PST) 14050 kHz
Monday 0300z (Sunday 7 PM PST)  7045 kHz

Long shot or not I think it would be great to see if we can get you logged  
in.  Next weekend I hope to have a few folks listening from various parts  
of North America so we may find you.  I will address this to the Elecraft  
list so others will know you are going to try.  Relayed stations are  
always welcome.


Good luck and thank you for your note.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Non Announcement

2006-11-04 Thread Kevin Rock
Tomorrow, due to heavy usage of both twenty and forty meters (aka Sweep  
Stakes), we will not be meeting for the Elecraft CW Net.  The next week we  
see us all on the air and active.  However, I know a few of you will be  
very active on the bands tonight and tomorrow.  Good luck to you during  
the contest.


I, on the other hand, will only spend a short time on the air during SS.   
I got the last three sheets of drywall up only hours ago.  I must restrain  
myself from putting up any more!  I had not planned on covering as much  
acreage as I did but once you get going ...  Now to get the last bit  
mudded, sanded, remudded, and sanded again.  Then I'll get primer on all  
of it.  Early this evening I said to myself, "I am going to get this part  
of the house done.  Even all the plates on all the switches and sockets!"   
Well I guess I've dug a hole for myself with that statement ;)  This will  
allow me to move into a new work area and only have to cover my gear for  
the next renovation project instead of moving it all multiple times to get  
more work done.


I did get my soldering iron hot this week!  More parts are going into a  
circuit and I hope to do a little bit more for a reward for all the  
drywall sanding.  I did get some circuits and PCBs designed, some software  
written, and a bit of theory beaten into my brain.  Hopefully my neural  
net gadgets will get wired up sometime in 2007.  Somewhere in there my  
robots and radio pursuits will merge.  In 2001 I got my ticket so my  
robots could have better comm gear.  I was lead astray!  My robots have  
languished since then except for a few paying gigs.  Hopefully that hiatus  
will soon be over.


Remember, no nets tomorrow.  I wish you all well during your pursuit of  
very large numbers with very low power.  I'll try to stay dry and warm.   
The weather has been typical Oregon winter.  The rain is less in the  
valleys but my nephew was shocked when he came in around 1 PM today.  It  
was gray in Vancouver but pouring here.  We are only a few miles away as  
the crow flies but worlds apart in terms of weather.


Take care,
   Kevin.  KD5ONS

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net non-Announcement

2006-06-22 Thread Kevin Rock

Hello All,
   I am pretty sure I'll not be able to run the Elecraft CW Net on  
Sunday.  My first reason was because I would be exhausted from working  
Field Day.  Well, those plans fell through.  The venue where I was to  
participate had to cancel their activities as of a few hours ago.  I've  
not been able to find any other club or group who wants a spare CW op.   
So, I may just work a little of the Field Day activities from home.  I've  
done that for the last three years but was hoping for some company this  
year.  Maybe I'll find a place on someone's team next year.
   In any case I hope you all do quite well and hope the propagation  
favors your antennas at your site.  The weather is predicted to reach the  
90s on Saturday and Sunday so I'll most likely not get much wood splitting  
or hauling done.  Maybe I should park the truck near the wood pile, turn  
on the headlights, and work after it cools off.  Speaking of wood cutting  
two new clear cuts have started up within a quarter mile of the house.   
The large one right next to me is almost done but now it looks like I'll  
get a few more months of o'dark thirty wake up calls by the log trucks.  I  
keep wondering why I set an alarm since I have to remember to turn it off  
hours after I wake up!
   If I do work FD I'll be running under my own call.  I am not sure of  
the letter designation but it will be only one rig on emergency power.  I  
may switch between rigs to try them all out on different antennas but I  
think since I am a single op I'll be working a 1?? station setup.  I  
should dig up the rules now since my plans have changed.

   Good luck to you all and hope to hear you on the air,
   73,
  Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Station on Hiatus)

Kevin, please submit your log.  You don't need to know anything about 
scoring, they do that for you.  Try out the N1MM logger 
 It is free and it'll create a Cabrillo file for 
you and you just email it in.


Hope to work you,

Good Evening Folks,
   Remember: there will be NO nets this week.

I have succumbed to the Dark Side.  I may have been skunked during the 
Fox Hunt this week but the Sweepstakes are swift upon us and I shall 
prevail.  I will work as a VE tomorrow for the beginning few hours.  
Then I travel back up the mountain via a long route past a Greek or Thai 
restaurant.  When we get home Ms P will grade her student's homework and 
give them another assignment and an online lecture.  I'll be banging my 
paddles and seeing how a paper dupe sheet works.  Up all night working 
the low bands and then as the dawn breaks I'll start moving back up.  
Hopefully I will meet a few of you on my journey down and up the bands.  
Win, place, or show are not in the cards but I plan to have fun if it 
kills me!  Seeing if I can beat what I did for Field Day is a goal.  
Getting better at CW is always my plan.  Submit the results?  Probably 
not since I haven't a clue how to figure out these fancy score 
thingies.  Worn out and happy is how I'll be come Sunday evening.

Due to all of the folks out there with rigs scattered to the winds, 
antennas dismantled, and bodies weary from Field Day abuse (there should 
be a recovery group for this ;) there will be no Elecraft CW Nets this 
evening.


Next week they shall return.

  Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Recovering Field Day person).

Nap anyone?
