Elecraft CW Net Announcement

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
   Currently it is cold (26 degrees F) out and snowing.  There is going to be three to four inches of new snow by morning but the storm will keep going on into Monday at least.  Winter still has its hold up here.  However propagation seems to be getting better.  Each morning it is easier to hear during my daily sked and the fox hunters are writing about good evening conditions too.  There was a real sunspot this week even if it was one of the old season.  A solar stream is on its way due midweek so the ionosphere will get fed.  
   From the fox hunt reports of forty meters along with notes I have been receiving I am reinstating the forty meter net for us to test tomorrow.  I moved the times back to where they have been in previous years.  Hopefully conditions will be good enough to make cross continental contacts once again.  Forty meters allows me more local contacts as well as areas I just cannot seem to reach on twenty meters.  This will be a test but I expect it to work and will keep trying over the coming weeks.  If necessary we can tweak the schedule somewhat but it is nice to have time to make and eat dinner between the two nets.  

Please join us tomorrow evening.

Monday 0100z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz

   Stay warm,

Good Afternoon,
   It appears I have done it again.  Each year when the time changes it seems I just cannot get the time correct.  I am aiming at 4 PM and 6 PM local but things did not work out that way.

Monday 0100z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0300z (Sunday 6 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

Should read:

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0100z (Sunday 6 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

It is Spring ahead and Fall behind.  I guess I simply keep falling behind over and over.  Much like the snail and the well!

Thank you for the private reminders :)  

I will see you all in a few hours.
   73,
      Kevin.
