Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    Twenty meters was quiet and weak with moderate QSB.  Forty meters
was such that none of the people I called could hear any of the others. 
At times I was trying to work three signals at once. But even though the
order may be off we got it done.  Except for dragging in WG7??  Forty
meters was noisy from a number of sources, QSB was higher, and the band
was weak except to WM5F and W6JHB.  However, when forty meters gets to
this stage the next few nets are usually better.

    Over the last couple of weeks I have noticed the transition into
fall.  Grass is turning brown.  The sun is setting noticeably earlier,
the hummingbirds are thinning out, the salmon berries are almost gone,
and the foxgloves have gotten the the very last blossom.  It's time to
start gathering wood before the winter rains make the tracks too muddy.

    Hopefully they'll find a way to put out all the fires we have out
west.  I read this article earlier today proposing a concussive means of
separating flame from fuel.

Whatever helps them gain control of these firestorms is OK with me; even
if it is loud.
