Elecraft CW Net Report for June 18th & 19th, 2006

[Kevin Rock]

Howdy Folks,
    We had two very good nets this evening.  Twenty meters had QSB from  
East to West and it was a little light to me.  Forty meters had it all:  
QRM from the Flying Pigs, QRN from a storm somewhere in the Midwest, and  
QSB would come and go throughout the net.  Made life interesting ;)  My  
faithful Co-NCS was hard pressed to find stations on twenty but made up  
for it on forty meters.  Thank you Tom, I appreciate the respite where I  
can unscramble my notes.
    Between the two nets I made and ate dinner, finished the laundry, split  
some more wood, hauled, and stacked it.  I did the dishes too just to keep  
myself busy.  The sun is now out but the fire is keeping Sam and I warm.  
I hope the wood I've been stacking dries out as fast as possible because I  
may need it for the rest of the summer to keep the chill out of the  
house!  Summer may actually get up here before the foxgloves start  
blooming.  They are getting underway at 200 feet in elevation but none  
have started above 1000 feet.  When the foxgloves have bloomed their way  
to the top of the stalk the summer is fading into autumn.  It is a good  
time to cut more wood!

    Thank you all for the fun nets this evening.  If there are any errors  
in the above lists please do not hesitate to correspond with me so I may  
fix them.  We are very near 2500 check ins for the history of the net  
(2484).  This total is from 420 different radio operators.  It was nice to  
meet each and every one of you.  However, I am sure there are many more  
folks who would like to try once they've built their KX1, K1, or K2.  Some  
like to check in with each new rig they build just to see how they work  
;)  I've got quite a list of serial numbers too but I do not have a clean  
sweep of all of the folks who've participated.  We are also two states shy  
of WAS ECN style.  If you'd like to correct that problem please check in  
 from Delaware or South Dakota the next time you pass through either of  
them.  I wonder if we can get some more wall paper for the web site for  
500 serial numbers?

Until next week,
    Stay warm (or cool) and stay well,
       73,
          Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
