Elecraft CW Net notes

During both nets the power was browning out.  Between the nets the power
went out twice.  But the second net ran fine at the new time with strong
signals.  However, just as the last dit dits were being exchanged I lost
power for a few minutes.  There was a short break in the snow fall
during the 40 meter net but it is coming down hard again.  On twenty
meters the snow was causing a lot of noise but I was getting out to at
least Michigan and Indiana.  On 40 meters my longest reach was Texas.

Now for the next foot to fall :)

     73,

On the sideband net at 1800z, we had up and down conditions,
with our usual backbone stations not being able to hear each
other. Before the net, I had armchair copy from Eric, WB9JNZ in
Chicago in my QTH, Los Gatos, CA (SF Bay area). With his amp and
beam he was coming in S7 over a S3 background noise.

During the net I couldn't hear him at all. At the end of the net
he was back up to S7 for me, but he could not hear John, N6JW in
Riverside CA (east of LA).

Conditions were up and down and generally not good.
