Elecraft CW Report for July 16th & 17th, 2006

Good Evening Folks,
The bands were a bit stingy this evening but that is how it goes sometimes. Unlike last week or the week before I did not hear Europe before the first net. My DX for the evening is Georgia :) That's OK, we had a good time. The weather here is warm but not like the reports I got from out East. There was more than one triple digit temperature report. Yesterday I spent walking around in the sun in mid 80 temperatures but we had a wind with low (40%) humidity levels. That made it comfortable. I spent the day drinking from my two liter bottles. The medical tents we visited refilled them as did our ARES tent supervisor. I've no idea how much water I consumed but it seemed to be enough because today I do not feel dehydrated; just stiff from walking and standing for so long. Tomorrow it is back to work for most of us. I'll be in downtown Portland where it gets much warmer than it does here. But, compared to you all, I feel lucky. With the mild temperatures and medium humidity summer is not so bad in Western Oregon. The reports from AB, OK, IN, and GA were not as nice. Only Rick in Palmer, Alaska had us all beat. Sounds very comfortable up there. However, I expect he has far more biting insects than me ;) That is one thing I do not miss from the Midwest. You can sit on your porch here and not be eaten alive. The lists => On 14050.50 kHz at 2257z: AL7N - Ed - AK KL7CW - Rick AK - KX1 - 798 QNI #50!!! VE6ITA - John - AB - K2 - 5384 QNI #15!! K4JPN - Steve - GA - K2 - 1422 W6BK - Dave - CA - K2 - 4910 AB9V - Mike - IN - K2 - 3993 W0SZ - Steve - CO - K2 - 4088 On 7046 kHz at 0156Z: K6BBQ - Rem - CA VE6ITA - John - AB - K2 - 5384 N0AR - Scott - MN - K2 - 4866 QNI #15!! W6BK - Dave - CA - K2 - 4910 QNI #5! KL7V/5 - Sam - OK - K2 - 3158 I think I have the above information correct but if not please email me. Thank you once again for your support. We will make it through the solar minimum and back to better propagation. It will not be long until the bands are filled again. I was promoting amateur radio while at the air show yesterday. It was surprising how many amateurs were listening to our health and welfare net while they were working in their booths making a little money. While my partner and I were scanning the crowd looking for children who looked lost a couple vendors walked up and introduced themselves. First by callsign and then by name. Not one of them broke our nets but they were monitoring our progress. The first lost child was around 1 PM. We had both parents to him in less than five minutes. The police and fire officials appreciated our eyes, ears, and comm skills very much. It makes my tired feet feel a bit better just knowing I could help. Until next week stay cool if you can, 73, Kevin.

FWIW: I heard nothing on 20. Unfortunately, I only had about 15 mins
and couldn't wait for a QSP opportunity, but zip on or near 14050. There's always next week.
