Tried a couple of times to check in on 14.050 but no go. When Tom, N0SS, first checked in he was 599. When it was turned back to him later in the net he was in the noise.

Will try again next week. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Rock" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Elecraft" <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 12:40 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement > Good Evening, > Conditions are conspiring against us but let's see what happens once > the RF hits the aether.
