Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,
QSB, on everyone and everything: QSB. But the bands were both quiet enough to work down to near S0 so I only lost a few letters here and there. Subjects: origin of the word blizzard (from someone who lives them), Veerys and their work, overwork of faithful radio amateurs during ECOM events, raking leaves, cutting wood, first frost in Texas, K2s vs KX2s, and visiting. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: N8OV (?) - Ned - MI KN1CBR - Ted - CO K6XK - Roy - IA W0CZ - Ken - ND K4TO - Dave - KY KG7V - Marv - WA W8OV - Dave - TX On 7045.5 kHz at 0000z: K6PJV - Dale - CA K0DTJ - Brian - CA W0CZ - Ken - ND KG7V - Marv - WA KN5L - John - TX WM5F - Dwight - ID W7ARG - Geo - ID W8OV - Dave - TX Until next week 73, Kevin.

By asking for relays I was able to check in on the Elecraft Nets on both 20 and 40 meters today. I was unable to hear Kevin on 20 meters but could tell he was transmitting on 40 but his signal was at my noise lever (which is high}. Kevin must have a quite location because he was able to copy me running a 100 watts from my K3S. Thanks Kevin.

Happy to relay you in, Marv. Yeah, you're a little close for both bands. I have the same problem on 20m. Most of the time Kevin is ESP here in northern CA on 20m.
Yep Kevin has good ears. Sometimes he is plagued be QRN but even then usually pulls us through.

In reply to this post by marvwheeler
Kevin:
I have listened for several weeks and today was the first time that I could hear your transmission on either 20 or 40 meters. I am sure it is not your problem since I am using a vertical and have a very high local noise level. Yes, I live about 0.25 miles from the Pacific and elevation here is 6 feet. I hope to improve the signal on 40 meters this week> I am going to be putting a terminated folded dipole with 90 feet of wire on each leg fed through a 9:1 balun and terminated with a 450 ohm noninductive resistor. I should be able to get the center up about 45 to 50 feet. If nothing else I hope it will improve the my noise where I can copy weaker signals. I sure hope so. Thanks for your patience and hope to check it again. 73 Marv K3S, KPA 500, Kat 500, P3 KX3, KXPA100 with KXAT100 -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2017 7:39 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report Hi Marv, I was copying you between S3 and S7. From what I could find on a map you live at or near sea level. I live at 2000 feet which seems to be out problem. The mountain I live on blocks a direct path between us so our only path is straight up and down. I was just outside thinking about how to make an antenna which would be better for those folks who live in Washington & Oregon. I have a doublet at 80 feet with one lobe pointing into Alaska and the other into the southeast. Thanks for the persistence. Kevin.
