Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    Sorry about spamming the Reflector earlier today.  I found the link
to the Barko harvester was getting blocked by my ISP not Elecraft's.  I
guess advertising forestry equipment built in Wisconsin doesn't sit well
with an ISP in Oregon :)  Tomorrow the beeping recommences at 7:30 or
so.  At the rate they're harvesting they'll be at the west end of my
property by the end of the month.  Then the sorting, stacking, and
trucking begins.  They changed the contract so I get 5% more from each
load to the three mills being used.  There may be more Elecraft gear in
my future ;)

    QSB was deep on my end; a few ops reported very little on their
end.  However, copy was pretty good except at the end when we had some
QRM problems.  GA, FL, and AL came in fairly well with weaker signals
and medium QSB.  I am not sure if I lost a few because the band was
changing from the first minute onward.


   On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K6XK - Roy - IA

K4TO - Dave - KY

K4JPN - Steve - GA

AB9V - Mike - IN

KS4L - Randy - AL

W4CBS - Don - FL


   On 7047.5 kHz at 0000z:

K6XK - Roy - IA

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

W8OV - Dave - TX

K1SW - Dick - CT

K4TO - Dave - KY


    Forty meters was more of the same: some weak signals and QSB ranging
from S2 to S9.  However, the area I can hit has increased.  Connecticut
on 40 meters is something, but I imagine he is not at home :)  I dug for
his call and got a few confirmations of it but little else.  His signal
was from below ESP to S2 at best.  Both bands were changing quickly as I
worked through the check ins.  I confirmed I did miss at least one on 20
meters when Brian told me so.  Honesty is good.

    There are a few links at the end of this email.  They will
accomplish two goals.  One, they are interesting articles so I hope you
check them out.  Determining eigenvectors from eigenvalues gets pretty
exciting :)  The design article is interesting too.  Changing the shapes
of knobs from a statistical study of B17 crashes.  Second, I will test
my hypothesis of the links breaking my ISP somehow.  I expect to see all
of the announcement messages showing up on my end sometime tomorrow.

    Until next week 73,

       Kevin.  KD5ONS

A stretch of sky, a garden wall overhung by green branches, a strong
horse, a handsome dog, a group of children, a beautiful face — why
should we be willing to be robbed of all this?  Whoever has acquired the
knack can in the space of a block see precious things without losing a
minute’s time…
