Good Evening,
It was fun to hear from you all again this evening. I am very curious
about what Bill is up to but I'll get more later :) 2 inches of snow
definitely had my interest piqued. Propagation was unpredictable. Tom in
Missouri was weak but Dan in Georgia was much better than he was as the
mystery guest on ECN/1. Ric in Ontario was very strong but not to be
beaten by Ken in Fargo. Curt in Hawaii was another surprise. His rig on
the big island was putting out a very nice signal. Oh, by the way, Dan
could hear you much better than I on 20 meters. He gave me an S 0.05 if I
remember correctly but you were solid copy for him. What ever antenna you
have up is working very nicely Curt. Do not change it!! Roger in
Washington was problematic for me. I heard WA7 very loudly and then your
signal was like my brother-in-law's curve ball, it simply fell off the
table. I had to get a relay from Tom and missed some of it. Bill in ??
(not CT??) was jumping from good to not so hot but I got over 80% copy.
I can not tell you how much I missed running the net last week. Two
weeks between Elecraft nets is far too long. It is the social event of
the week for me :) Yes, indeed, I have no life. But you folks really
improve things when Sunday afternoon comes around. Ms. Patricia enjoys
her peace and quiet and listens for my laugh from the next room. If you
have ever wanted to join us on the net please do. We have a bit of fun
while exchanging news, weather, and signal reports. A few sentences to
each op and we have a good time. Each time they come back and say hello
is like going over to Grandma's house and eating fresh bread around the
cook stove. Nothing special, just homey and comfortable (and the fresh
bread of course!) If we need help getting another op's call sign to
welcome them to the fold others give a hand and get them checked in. Then
the next time or two later you are greeted by name.
Well enough of that :) On to the list:
WG4S - Dan - GA - K2 - 2456
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008
AH6RE - Curt - HI - KX1 - 464
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
WA7BOC - Roger - WA - K2 - 755
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031
K1EV - Bill - CT??? - K2 - 2152
Thanks to you all for making this a fun Sunday activity. I hope it lasts
a good long time.
73 for now,
