Elecraft CW Net Report

kevinr@coho.net
Good Evening,

     The onset of fall seems to have helped propagation.  I worked a few
stations I had not heard in a while.  QSB seemed to be included with
every signal report.  I just gave RST as a range. But copy was good
enough that an S1 signal was easy.  I only had to turn down one S9 signal.

    The northern stations were reporting cool temperatures and color
changes.  But even Texas was cool at 71.  Forty meters got more than the
usual West Coast operators reaching all the way into Texas and
Kentucky.  Band noise was higher on 20 than on 40 so Kentucky at 319 to
539 got logged.  Reports I was receiving were usually S3 or better with
a few folks just barely hearing me. Surprisingly those signals are often
quite loud to me.  So follow the rhythm of the net and listen to who I
am working.  Call when you hear my CQ.  I gather stations in groups of
one, two, or three (sometimes more) and work them in order.


   On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

NO8V - John - MI

K6XK - Roy - IA

W7LXN - Myron - AZ

AB9V - Mike - IN


   On 7047 kHz at 0000z:

W6HV - Troy - CA

K6PJV - Dale - CA

W8OV - Dave - TX

N6KR - Wayne - CA

K4TO - Dave - KY

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K6TET - Ted - CA


    Wayne tried on 20 meters but you have to be in Southern California
before I can work you.  Forty meters was a much better fit.  With
today's band you were easy copy from your K3s.  I have received a couple
emails acknowledging your CQ but they weren't able to get either you or
me.  They gave you an S5 and me a 339.

    Hopefully next week the bands will be as good as or better than this
week.  If you can't have a loud signal a quiet band really helps.  I
should drop my antennas and check them before the weather gets bad.

    Until next week 73,

        Kevin.  KD5ONS

Hi Kevin,
I listened for you on 20m but heard, maybe an ESP dit or two. Roy had a big signal here, S9+ when I moved the beam around to him. Heard a few of the other check-ins too. Wayne was about S5 and watery with refraction over the hill.

A dinner party took me away for the 5 o'clock session.

That's all the news from HMB. See you next week.

73,
Brian, K0DTJ
