Elecraft CW Net Report for April 3rd and 4th, 2005

[Kevin Rock]

We had a pleasant net this evening.  I met some new folks and got
reacquainted with some of the others.  Weak signals on 20 meters so I may
have missed one or two.  Sorry about that.  But on 40 meters it was much
better.  There were certain parts of the continent which were much easier
to work this evening.  NJ, VA, ON, MN, ND, IN and PA were pretty easy.  WA
and CT were so strong I had to turn down my gain.  But W7UR from MT had
the hottest signal.  Helena, Montana to Buxton, Oregon must be attached
somehow.  Very strong signal Ci!

On 14050 kHz at 2258z:
VE3XL - Ric - ON - non Elecraft rig
W0QQS - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646
K2HYD - Ray - VA - KX1 - 608
W2GIW - Ken - NJ - K2 - 3614
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031    From Sunny Fargo :)
KX2D - John - NJ - ? - ?   Just could not drag enough signal out to get
all the info.
VE3XL - Ric - ON - relay help
K5BGB - Rod - TX - K2 - 1126

On 7044 kHz at 0156z:
AK2B - Tom - NY - K2 - 4482
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
NK8Q - Mark - PA - K2 - 4786   Your late model rig is doing just fine!
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031   Still warmer than Buxton :(
WA7BOC - Roger - WA - K2 - 755   Very fine signal this evening.   QNI #40
N9IV - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650
K1EV - Bill - CT - K2 - 2152   Thanks for your NCS assistance.
WU7R - Ci - MT - K2 - 4615

I enjoyed myself as alway and hope you all did too.  If I missed you,
again, I am sorry.  20 meters just was not supporting signals from same
parts of the continent as well as others.  We will be on the air next week
if you want to your chances with propagation.  Please send me any errors
and I will post them as soon as I can.

Thank you for the fun time.  I really do get a kick out of running the
Elecraft CW Net.  I hope it goes on for a long while.
    73,

 I guess I was in the "one or two" that were missed. I should have looked up
your call to see where you were. Had the beam towards 5-land and could
barely hear you. I called and you picked up a letter or two, I think. I
finally figured out you are in OR off the side of the beam. I got the beam
turned around, and could  hear you 579, but then I couldn't hear anyone else
off the OTHER side of the beam. I didn't see much fun in that so I went back
to the County Hunters up the band 6 or 7 kc.

Maybe when Tom, N0SS, is helping out and I can keep the beam on the East
Coast. Otherwise I think I'm going to save the wear-and-tear on my rotor.
