Elecraft CW Net Report for June 19th & 20th, 2005

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    Each time I use that as a greeting I realize how much I miss Hitchcock
and his TV show.  Oh well, time goes on.  This evening on 20 meters there
was a great noise.  Pileups each time I called CQ for the first five or
six go arounds.  That was heartening.  Next week there will be wall to
wall operators so we all can have some fun getting the various sections
across the continent.  My goal is to work Delaware.  Well, that and learn
VHDL ;)  I think I will have better luck with the FPGA code than I will
with Delaware but there is hope.  Folks just may be visiting the state and
working a little DX (Oregon!!) for Field Day.
    Forty meters was quite packed so I set up shop between two Flying
Pigs.  They were dominating the bands with their mighty five watt
signals.  But I found a space and worked a number of folks from that
location.  There was QSB on both bands but it was fairly slow so if you
paced yourself you could get all of a contact between the lulls.  I heard
each contact on 20 but some of the folks Tom worked were very weak (S2 ->
S 0.5)

On to the lists.

On 14050 kHz at 2300z:
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008
AA3WF - Mychael - PA - K2 - 1025
N3AO - Carter - PA - K2 - 678
VE1RGB - GAry - NS - K2 - 2519
AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993   QNI #30!
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031
K2HYD - Ray - VA - KX1 - 608
KH6NO/W7 - Willie - NV - K1 - 1593
K5VJZ - Tom - LA - K2 - 4279
W0NTA - Dick - CO - K2 - 3900
KL7CW - Rick - AK - KX1 - 798    Weak but S2 copy in OR.  QNI #15
KD7GIM - Dave - WA - did not hear which rig
N9IV - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650

On 7044.5 kHz at 0200z:
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031
N7AF - Dave - AZ - K2 - 4795
ND0V - Greg - CO - KX1 - 1162      Brand spanking new KX1!
N9IV - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650
KD8NMZ - Paul - MI - K2 - 4818
AK2B - Tom - NY - K2 - 4482


Plus one other I just could not get on 20 meters.  Sorry but I was not
copying letters, just knew there was a signal answering me.  Please try
again in two weeks.

There will be no nets next week because the bands will be packed jam full
of happy Field Day types.  One of them will be me.  Pat (KD5PZO) and I
will be camping on the West side of our property so she may try working a
few stations with me as control operator.  I'll have a dipole or two up
and I'll find the microphone for her to use on my K2 ;)  My goal, as
previously stated, is to work Delaware.  Other than that I'll just work a
few stations here and there giving out the Oregon section on CW.

As always, any errors or fills in the above lists are welcomed.  I will
fix the database and post to this reflector when I get the information.

73 all,
    Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
