Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,

    While scouting out trees to thin I found a number of new elk
trails. One poor alder tree had very little bark on the lower four feet
of its trunk. They like the alder thickets when they grow larger than
about six inches in diameter. The lower branches die off and a nice
sleeping area forms. It's also a good place for cedar and hemlock to
get a start. Douglas fir likes a lot of sun so they compete for
openings in the canopy. Cedar and hemlock like it moister and well
shaded when they sprout.

    There was a period of solar wind activity this week so there are
some ions floating around. Maybe there will be enough of them left for
the nets. I am going to move the forty meter net frequency a bit higher
to 7047 kHz. This may eliminate some of the QRM. If that doesn't work
I'll need to find something else to try. Luckily the bands are pretty
quiet other than the thunderstorms over the plains.

Please join us tomorrow on:

14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
   7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)

73,
Kevin. KD5ONS

Hi Kevin,

Warming up the gear. I'll see you on 14.050, conditions permitting.
