Another two sessions of the Elecraft CW Net were run this evening. The
bands were not as good as I had hoped. Forty was especially tough due to
the storms in the heartland. But Ken, out camping, had a very good
signal. Not to be outdone however, was a new comer from Bozeman, MT N7GS
with a fine signal from his K2. Welcome to ECN. Welcome back to Jerry;
it has been a long time and with a new KX1 too.
On 14050 kHz at 2300z:
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
KL7CW - Rick - AK - KX1 - 798
K6III - Jerry - CA - KX1 - 1101
W0QQS - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646
On 7045 kHz at 0200Z:
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008
N7GS - Mal - MT - K2 - 456
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
N7AF - Dave - AZ - K2 - 4795 QNI #10
Thanks to all who were able to join us and sorry to those who listen but
could not hear either Tom or myself. There were a few close to subliminal
stations out there but even waiting for some helpful QSB was not enough to
bring them out. Ric made it the second time on a wing and a prayer. But
V??XL is enough for me ;)
Can't wait to see the effect of the probe on the comet this evening.
Should have been shortly before the second net if my timing is correct.
Too light for us to see it on the West Coast but maybe in EU.
Please be careful tomorrow. Pat and I will be at the beach eating a
little seafood and camping for an evening. I'll take a rig out with a
vertical wire and my homebrew ATU. Maybe my might 5 watts will work on
80, 40, 30, or 20 meters or maybe I will just listen. But you never know
unless you try.
73 all,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
