Elecraft CW Net Announcement

Good Evening,

    The population of biting flies has dropped off considerably after a
week of cool, rainy weather.  Hopefully that is the last I will see of
the species for this year.  They are the most annoying.  There are a few
other species with feisty female biters but none as aggressive and as
hard to see.  At least you can swat at them.

   The sun is trying to set more records.  Quiet ones.  During these
enforced days alone I imagine I'm on a deep space trip as the only crew
member.  Plenty of readings to take and chores to do but hours of quiet
in between.  Then I look out the port and see stars which are covered
with spots.  Maybe I can get on the air with their planets.


Please join us on (or near):

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

    73,
       Kevin. KD5ONS

Kevin, your last comment is interesting. If you were the only crew member on a spaceship on a deep space mission and tried to communicate with other stars, would it be accurate to use the phrase “on the air”?

Thanks,
Mike NJ2OM
