Elecraft CW Net pre-announcement

Kevin Rock
Howdy Folks,
    I am going to play things a little differently this coming Sunday.  
I've been invited down to Hillsboro for a picnic to fete the folks who  
worked comms at the local airshow.  I wish to take my K2, some antenna  
wire, and the rest of my gear down to the park where they are having the  
feast to show folks how a CW net sounds.  I will need your help to relay  
stations in since I'll be in the city with its RF noise problems, a  
definite lack of elevation, and a temporary antenna to lessen my hearing  
ability.  I may have to run lower power than normal too so you all may  
have to push your rigs to hear me.  But, if I get a few folks to help  
relay stations, or even act as NCS folks I'd be much obliged.
    Please think about working as NCS or a relay station so we can show the  
CERT and ARES folks how much fun it is to get on HF and work with friends  
across the continent.  I'll be under observation so my normally 'sporadic'  
fist will grow a bit more shakey.  Bear with me while folks tweak me from  
both ends ;)  It should be fun, enlightening, and a bit stressful for poor  
Kevin.  However, if we can gain even one op to the CW fold we've more than  
won.  We may even sell a few of Wayne's rigs too!!  I think he and Eric  
would get a kick out of that.
    I'll write more later but simply wanted to provide a bit of information  
on what is to occur this Sunday.

Until then stay as cool as you can,
    73,
       Kevin.  KD5ONS  (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
