Elecraft CW Net 15th Anniversary

Howdy Folks,

     In 2002 I started the Elecraft CW Net to meet people and improve my
CW.  Over the years I have met many fine folks and lost a few along the
way.  My CW has improved (somewhat).  The propagation has been poor,
then better, then good, and now poor again.  I expect that cycle will
continue long after I am gone.

    The official date would be June 6, 2017 but June 4th is close
enough.  Hopefully the bands will perk up a bit; the sun does have a few
tiny spots on it.  Solar flux is marginal but I have been making
sporadic contact with the East Coast, Midwest, Southeast, Southwest,
Western Canada, and folks not local to the Pacific Northwest.  While I
do get the occasional weak check in from Washington and the line of
sight folks in Oregon the PNW is usually too close for good copy.

    Please think about checking in on June 4th to be part of this large
group of like minded folks.  Family news, dog health, camping trips,
fishing, and the weather have all been discussed in the past.  Since we
all use Elecraft gear we rarely talk about our rigs.  We do discuss new
gear being offered, stories about repair of old gear, and antennas -
always antennas.

    Until then,

        73,

            Kevin.  KD5ONS  Net Control Person 5th Class.
