Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,

    Twenty meters had a little noise and mild QRN.  I had to move the
net after a loud CQ started up on net frequency.  Guess they could not
hear me.  Forty meters lasted longer than normal.  With the extra
daylight I was able to work into Southern California. After I closed
with W8OV I heard someone calling him.  I waited and then worked KO6WL
at ESP levels.  It took a number of repetitions but I got the call one
part at a time.  Even without an active sun signals were fair.  From now
until the time change forty meters should work well for us with the
longer days.

   On 14050.5 kHz before 2200z:

W0CZ - Ken - ND

NO8V - John - MI


   On 14050.75 kHz after 2200z due to QRM:

K6XK - Roy - IA

K4JPN - Steve - GA


   On 7047.75 kHz at 0000z:

KG7V - Marv - WA

W0CZ - Ken - ND

K6XK - Roy - IA

K0DTJ - Brian - CA

KL7CW - Rick - AK

W8OV - Dave - TX

KO6WL - Howard - CA


I was able to work a few of you before each net which helped.  I did
catch an F at the end of the first call up on 40 meters.  I tried
calling WM5F, Dwight in Idaho, but the window had closed.

Happy Ground Hog's Day!

Ultimately there will be nothing your friends can do for you,
putting you in the position of having to find more competent friends.

Thanks Kevin!

 I tried to answer.  But the signal was buried pretty deep.   I think we are just too close to one another.

It also seems like the QRM starts up as soon as the net begins, that didn't help.  

 I like trying to pull you out of the noise with APF on the KX3.   Pretty cool feature for CW.

Again tanks for the try!  I did hear part of it!
