Good Evening again, I missed the time change, again. Here are the summer time notes. Please notice I will keep the half hour differential.

I worked through the nets in my memory and I did not feel right. I was certain I had worked Roy in Iowa but didn't remember typing his name. I was right, I had made a mistake. Mea culpa. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: W0CZ - Ken - ND NO8V - John - MI => K6XK - Roy - IA <= K0DTJ - Brian - CA KB3FBR - Joe - PA K4JPN - Steve - GA On 7047.5 kHz at z: KG7V - Marv - WA W0CZ - Ken - ND K0DTJ - Brian - CA KL7CW - Rick - AK K6PJV - Dale - CA Until next week 73, Kevin.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net errata and antenna changes
Good Afternoon, Today was a good day to work on antennas. Steady rain, dense fog, and light winds. When I first raised this antenna I had few choices for where each leg could go. After the recent thinning my options are much greater. So I moved the leg which was at 300 degrees to point at 10 degrees. The leg which is now at 140 degrees would be better at 190 degrees but that will take some work with a chainsaw. Chainsaws and muddy footing don't mix so I will wait for a drier day. While there is a tall cedar right where I want it there are three young hemlocks in the way. If I take out the middle one all will be well. I woke up yesterday with AZ on my mind. During breakfast I decoded that cryptic thought. Someone had told me QTH AZ but I did not remember putting that state in my report. After checking it and actually reading my notes I found the problem. K0JFJ - Nick - TX should read K0JFJ - Nick - AZ Sorry Nick, though depending on where you live in Texas it can be like living in Arizona. But then there are many places which are not similar. There is no comparison between Flagstaff, AZ and Houston, TX; each has its unique features. Hopefully the new antenna placement will aim farther south than did the previous arrangement. I put a T-square on a map of the US and used that to determine where to place each leg. If I had a true dipole over 1/2 wavelength above the ground the main lobe would point at North Carolina. But each leg's end is not as high as is the center. The interior angle is around 150 degrees so the antenna is not quite an inverted V but the propagation pattern should be wider than a true dipole. I found when I dropped the ends of a shorter antenna stations to my north and south were stronger. Next Sunday I get to test it on both 20 and 40 meters. Until then 73, Kevin.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Errata
Last night I reported: K4DXU - Bill - TN - KX1 - 702 This should read: K4DXU - Bill - TN - K2 - 5540 The other error on my part was: W6WY - Pete - CA - KX1 - 239 My records have 279; ... It really should be: W6WY - Pete - CA - KX1 - 279 I had copied each correctly but missed the first one entirely in my notes and the second one was not clear in my mind. Hmmm ... I need a proofreader!

One error this week. I copied the call just fine. But then I transposed two characters and then cut and pasted it so the same errors shows up twice. Maybe that should be counted as two errors ;) But I wanted to get to soldering and did not go over the lists again for accuracy. I did study the punctuation however. The error? K5TE - Jay - CO - KX1 - 969 Should really read: KT5E - Jay - CO - KX1 - 969 Close, but not close enough. Just before I went to bed I ran through my rough notes from EQP. I made more contacts than I thought! I had fun too. Maybe next year I will try to spend more time at it and work more than three bands. Sorry for the break in the daily Elecraft news. Kevin. KD5ONS P.S. Ask Jay what he uses for an antenna and feedline. I think you will be surprised.

Mea Culpa I lost one of you in the shuffle between copy notes and the final list. Please add one more QNI to the 20 meter list between WA5ZNU and W0CZ. W0YG - Chas - CO - K2 - 4853 I heard him very, very well. However I did not transcribe him to the list when I made it during a lull. Please accept my apologies for yet another error in my paper shuffling. :( Kevin. KD5ONS (Need I say it?

I knew it. As soon as I posted I found an error. I left off NK8Q - Mark - PA - K2 - 4786 I heard him very well as Dave was calling but just missed transcribing his information to the keyboard :( He was a solid S7 with very little flutter. Curt was another good signal, but then he is west of me and most probably on the beach with a nice salt water ground :) Kevin.

Good Afernoon, I am forwarding this note from Jason so I can get my act together. For some reason my roster has him as AK7A but in another place it has him as AK7V. Since I never heard him and Tom did I should not second guess. Ooops! Another error to watch for. Some day I may learn how to do this :) (Please don't hold your breath now). Kevin. --- Forwarded message --- From: Jason Artz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Kevin Rock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for January 1st and 2nd, 2006 Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2006 09:22:46 -0800 (PST) Hi Kevin, So sorry to hear about your wife. She sounds like she was quite a neat person. I couldn't hear you at all during the 20m net yesterday either, but Tom N0SS was a solid 579 here in Seattle. Just wanted to correct my call with you - it is AK7V, not AK7A. I was out and about during the 40m net, so I didn't get a chance to listen for you. I have trouble hearing or being heard by anything on 40m after dark - I think once the band starts going long, my antenna starts "going south." :) Take care and happy new year! 73, Jason ak7v ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

First off I have KL7CC's serial number incorrect: Jim's K2 is 3935. But the most egregious error was not in circling a call sign on my list. W1TF - Ty - GA - K1 - 1423 Just wrote me a note. He was indeed copied on the 20 meter net last night. He was in my notes but I failed to circle the call sign. This is how I assure the calls wind up on my list for the roll call at the end of the net. Thus he missed being listed in my report as well. Now for the great news. With that one extra QNI ECN has had 1500 check ins since day one. I know we have missed a few over that period but we keep trying. Last night we missed two that would have been nice. Geoff from Scotland heard VE3XL (Ric) check in and Bob, F5UL, from France heard Tom but we did not hear either one of these folks. Bands were pretty good last night but the ops who run this crazy net were not on the ball. Well at least one of us was not on the ball! Please keep trying so we can get to the 3000 mark. Closer in time will be the second anniversary on June 6th. That one should be fun. I hope the band conditions are great that day so we can work 30 stations or more. 73, Kevin.

Sorry folks, I seem to have given Russ, N9IV the wrong rig. Not once but twice. I cannot justify nor determine how in the world a 0 became a 2. My records all have him owning 4650. How I gave him 4652 I will never know. My apologies to Russ and to whomever may own 4652. Hopefully this is one of the few errors I made last night (other than sending the odd dit or dah to drive Tom crazy ;) Have a great week folks, Kevin.

Sorry Fred. The information listed: K6DGW - Fred - CA - K2 - 4298 Should read 4398. One of these days I am going to strap myself down and play 2s and 3s at myself for a few hours until I can tell them apart! I'll need to add an equal proportion of QRN, QRM, and QSB to make it more like running the net however. The noise level should equal or exceed the signal strength to make it fair to my ears. The best would be to make the noise the same frequency as my side tone with the same period as the dits. One of these days I will learn CW! Kevin.
