Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    I could not find an open space to run the twenty meter net. The
forty meter net started when the CQWW contest faded away. There was QSB
on everyone I worked.  Those farther east had slow waves.  KG7V is just
across the Columbia River from me (and a little up the coast) had a fast
flutter from S2 to S5.  K1SW was able to check in again with his KX2
running 12 watts.  S0 to S3 but with repeats I got more information. 
W0CZ had a strong signal but could not hear me.  His S5 to S7 signal was
easy copy.


   On 7047.5 kHz at 0000z:

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

K6PJV - Dale - CA

W6JHB - Jim - CA

KG7V - Marv - WA

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K1SW - Dick - CT


    I lost the use of my keyboard a little earlier today.  After two
keyboard changes and a few reboots I determined the hardware was most
likely not the culprit.  As I was switching keyboards I held down a key
and a few characters appeared.  Very slowly.  So I queried the Ubuntu
site and found 'slow keys'.  I dove into the settings and turned it
off.  Seems you can turn on this feature if you hold the shift key down
too long.  You learn something new each day.  But for a while it was
like Bach's "Rage Over the Lost Penny".


    Until next week stay well,

        Kevin.  KD5ONS
