Elecraft CW Net Report for February 11th & 12th, 2007
 
|
Good Evening,
Two very good nets. I wish I could have worked everyone I heard but some of you were very far down below the noise. I did get TF but there was one very, very weak signal on 40 meters which I simply could not get a letter. However, it appears the hail signs along with calling by areas has broken up the pileups quite nicely. I may simplify even further and try East, Mid, and All to work more rapidly. Tom works East and West and does well. He does have a lot more experience at this though ;) You heard me turn up my speed a few times but I made sure to go right back to call CQ. I wanted to run through Tom's list quickly so I could get back to you all. There was a little QSB on both 20 and 40 meters this evening but both bands were fairly quiet. Made it easier to run the net. On 40 I only got two before I handed off to Tom. I found a few of you had not gotten on the air by the time I passed the net but you were loud to me. For once I worked Fred, K6DGW, direct. Normally he is simply too close. I did get a little of his check in on 20 meters but it was tough copy. On 40 meters he was pretty good. I was also hearing the West Hills in Beaverton because I heard Karl, N7NLU, check in both times. I got a few weather reports but mostly just signal reports this evening. Southern California is having rain tonight much like I am having. Gloomy and chilly all day today. But it is my cleaning day so I don't notice the weather much. I did find a break in the rain to get my load of wood inside. Sam is guarding the fire so it does not go unstoked! The lists => On 14050 kHz at 2256z: N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008 K9DMV - Joe - IL - K2 - 5628 VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968 K1EV - Bill - CT - K2 - 2152 AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993 WB3AAL - Ron - PA - K1 - 1011 QNI #5! K2HYD - Ray - NC - KX1 - 608 K4GT - Jim - GA - K2 - 2015 K4JPN - Steve - GA - K2 - 1422 QNI #40!!! KH6NO/W7 - Willie - NV - K2 - 1593 QNI #15!! W6ZH - Pete - CA - K1 - 553 K5BGB - Rod - TX - K2 - 1126 N7WG - Bill - CA - ?? K6DGW - Fred - CA - K2 - 4398 W6ZH - Pete - CA - K1 - 553 N7NLU - Karl - OR - K2 - 4227 KE5AKL - Mike - NM - ?? W0RSR - Mike - CO - K2 - 5767 VE6ITA - John - AB - K2 - 5384 ND0V - Greg - CO - K2 - 4411 N6JW - John - CA - K2 - 3290 QNI #45!!! K0NEB - Joe - NE - KX1 - 1493 W1TF - Ty - GA - K1 - 1423 On 7044.5 kHz at 0156z: N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008 KH6NO/W7 - Willie - NV - K2 - 1593 K6PJV - Dale - CA - K2 - 5345 K0NEB - Joe - NE - KX1 - 1493 W0RSR - Mike - CO - K2 - 5767 WD4LST - Pete - FL - K2 - 5813 N7NLU - Karl - OR - K2 - 4227 NK6A - Don - CA - K2 - 1217 W6ZH - Pete - CA - K1 - 553 K4GT - Jim - GA - K2 - 2015 K6DGW - Fred - CA - K2 - 4398 VE6ITA - John - AB - K2 - 5384 AA4NN - Joe - SC - K2 - 3751 This was very close to the record number of check ins. Not bad for the bottom of the solar cycle! I wonder what will happen in two years? By then K1EV will be armchair copy again and I will have to develop new techniques to break the pileups. We may even get a check in from Rupert once Geoff teaches his favorite pheasant how to peck out his callsign ;) Thank you for the support over the years. It is very nice to hear from you all and see what we can do each Sunday evening. Once I knock down the leaning trees I'll be able to hoist my antenna up to a better height. This will help me on 20 meters but I don't think I can find a tree tall enough to make much difference on 40 meters. But the windstorm did clear a large swath of land for a prospective loop antenna. Now if I can convince Karl to drive out in the outback to help me hoist it ;) I do need a couple of fills for rig and serial number but there is always next week and the one after that. If there are any errors please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention and provide the correct data. Until next week stay well, Kevin.

The only stations heard on 40m at that time were PYs - LUs, much weaker than usual and dropping, nothing from the USA. There is no way that Murdoch's beak is going to get close to my key <g> 73, Geoff GM4ESD _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Hi Kevin
The N7WG Bill? you show is actually me. N0SS miscopied my call when I checked in. I was working on my antennas and tuning across the band when I heard the net, so decided to check in, just for the heck of it :-) Was QRU, so just went on with my antenna work. 73, Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Rock" <[hidden email]> To: "Elecraft" <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 7:34 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report for February 11th & 12th, 2007 > Good Evening, > Two very good nets.
