Elecraft CW Net Report for September 30th & October 1st, 2007

[Kevin Rock]

Good Evening,
    A very wet, chilly one here.  Looks like that will not stop any time  
soon.  Today I was up at 3 AM to get ready for the walk, run, bike event  
begun and ended at the Nike campus in Beaverton, Oregon.  We took shifts  
as NCS for the event and while we were not on the air we kept track of the  
situation and the resources required.  Hypothermia and slippery pavement  
caused the most problems.  One railroad crossing bit a lot of bicyclists  
because of its angle in relation to the road.  Talk about pileups!  By the  
time I was cut loose and drove home I was pretty tired as all who checked  
in on the 20 meter net could attest.  Minutes after I signed off I was in  
bed and slept for a solid 90 minutes.  That gave me enough time to rest  
and eat before the second net.  I felt much better for that one.
    Even though forty meters had horrendous QRN for the folks in the  
Midwest I was able to pull out quite a few of you.  I did get some help  
 from N0AR and KT5E with informational relays.  Thank you!  Sounds like the  
weather in Minnesota was as wet as it is here.  But then I got some 80  
temperatures from folks further east.  I had a chance to rip out the  
crushed part of my roof and replace the rafters this week.  Unfortunately  
I did not have enough time to do more than tack down the sheathing and  
cover it with a few layers of plastic.  I will insulate on the inside and  
hope for a few clear days so I can finish the exterior.  Even so it felt  
nice to get the job at least half way done.  Now I can collect wood while  
it rains and know Sam is warm and dry.
