Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Kevin Rock
Good Evening,
    I will sleep well tonight.  I may have problems rolling out of bed in  
the morning though.  My nephew came over to help me cut wood today.  With  
his help I was able to get about five times more wood layed in than I  
could have accomplished on my own.  However, his youthful vigor (age 26),  
and my slightly older body were not always working in the same rhythm.  
Tomorrow will dawn and I'll find a warm bath to be a very good salve to my  
aching body.  I did appreciate his help which got me very close to my  
winter goal.  One more row of wood and Sam and I will be comfy.
    Starting at 0200z I turned on 14050 kHz and listened.  I've been  
listening since but have not heard the interloper jamming the frequency.  
I am unsure of his habits though and may need to add a proviso to the 20  
meter frequency for tomorrow's twenty meter net.  Either 10 kHz up or down  
should provide us with space enough so I can hear the weak stations away  
 from his AM chatter.  Last week I almost dragged K2HYD out but through  
fading and QRM I lost him.  I thought I had him but he disappeared.  If I  
had not had the interference I would have nabbed him first time.  I will  
strive not to let that happen again.
    Forty meters was not a problem last week so we'll stay on or near our  
favored frequency.  If there is someone there beforehand I'll be far  
enough away not to bother an ongoing QSO.  I do flip back before net and  
if the frequency is open I'll move to it.
    Now to get some sleep and find the Ben Gay ;)

    Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7pm PDT)  7045 kHz

Until tomorrow,
    Kevin. KD5ONS
