Elecraft CW Net Report for May 22-23, 2005

Kevin Rock
Wow, talk about ridden hard and put away wet!  The second net took from
0257z until 0317z to dig the last person out.  But I am getting ahead of
the story.  After that net I had to go outside to discuss the
precommercial thin.  We'll get about half our fir trees taken out.  May
just break even between chipping up some and pulping the others.  Then the
rest will grow rapidly with the space given them.  But this detail made my
report later than normal.

20 meters was a harbinger of things to come.  It was much better than it
had been in two weeks but nothing like what 40 meters was to bring.  Dan,
WG4S, sent me a taped version of his portion of the 40 meter net.  I had
given him a 599 for the signal from his HW-101.  Fair report but his
recording shows once again that signals are not always reciprocal.  I was
S3 to S5 at times during the QSB, QRM, and QRN.  It will be interesting to
see how well I can copy my own fist ;)

On to the lists.

On 14051 kHz at 2300z:
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
WO3E - Bob - MD - K2 - 4565
AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993
WG4S - Dan - GA - HW 101 - 3283
KA3WMJ - Ken - PA - K2 - 697
N7AF - Dave - AZ - K2 - 4795

On 7045 kHz at 0257z:
K7TQ - Randy - ID - K2 - 213    Just about made my ears bleed with your
signal!
VE3XL - Ric - ON - K1 - 968
N9IV - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650
K7KBS - Geoff - MT - K1 - 1158     Welcome aboard!
KH6NO/M - Willie - K1 - 1592      or was this a K2???
N2FQ/6 - Fernando - CA - K2 - 2330
WA7BOC - Roger - WA - K2 - 755
K2HYD/7 - Ray - UT - KX1 - 608     Just too close to work me on 20
meters.  Ghost guesting!
WG4S - Dan - GA - HW 101 - 3283
KO0K - Ben - OH - K2 - 3867     Sorry Ben your name simply escaped me.  
Must be getting old :(
N7AF - Dave - AZ - K2 - 4795
KL7V/5 - Sam - OK - ATS-3
AK2B - Tom - NY - K2 - 4482  Your signal was bouncing between ESP and not
there at all.  We got it done though!!
KB8NMZ - Paul - MI - K2 - 4808    Welcome to ECN!
AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993

Whew!  It's getting late so please forgive any errors I may have made in
the above lists.  If there are any errors they will be corrected in the
database and posted to the Reflector.

Thank you all for letting me have a very good time.  Digging for the weak
ones makes me that much better.  Maybe one day I'll get good at this.  
Welcome to a few new faces and welcome back to some more seasoned guests.  
It was a pleasure to hear you all this evening.
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
