Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Kevin Rock
Good Evening,
    Sam and I have had a very pleasant day.  The weather has turned quite  
pleasant and the prediction of rain has been called off for Labor Day.  I  
drove into town but found the temperature was too warm for my liking.  
Luckily I was back home in only a few hours.  Had a nice walk this morning  
but it was interrupted when I heard voices.  No, real ones :)  It appears  
to be some sort of hunting season and I was right in the middle of it.  
What clued me in was the beep of the FRS radios they were using.  If  
they'd have been using headsets who knows when I'd have noticed.
    I was swamped with work this week so only got on the air once and found  
4 MHz very noisy at 7 PM local time.  Got myself checked in to a very weak  
NECOS located in Washington.  Listened to the proceedings and signed off.  
Other than that the only radio I have heard has been the local classical  
station which is now playing the overture to Lohengrin.  This note is  
being written early so I can concentrate on interfacing a few gadgets.  An  
LCD to a uC and a computer to a radio.  There may be enough time to get  
both done this evening before bedtime.
    Hopefully I will get started on cutting firewood tomorrow but have not  
lit the chainsaw in a few months.  It may need some cleaning and  
adjustments.  Then, I will need some adjustments after I use it for an  
hour!  I'll start with one tank of gas so I can still move by net time.  
During the coming week I hope to improve my stamina while the stack of  
wood grows.  It may take a few minutes for the buzzing to go out of my  
hands when I start sending so listen for the stuttering key.  My hand  
tends to lock in the open position after I've used the chainsaw so it  
takes a bit of coaxing to get it to close again.  However, there is some  
Ben Gay if necessary :)

  Tomorrow:

1) Hail signs  (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)

    Please join us:

Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7 PM PDT)  7045 kHz

    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS
