Well yes it is Kevin. The CW nets I was in in 1951 were used to pass message traffic. You would think if there is a 'net' using the Elecraft name, the least that could be done is to discuss technical issues about Elecraft ham gear. That I know of, Elecraft does not make thermometers or gauges to measure snow fall. But the 'law' is, if you are having fun, you should continue, as I will do with contesting on the weekends, leaving the WARC band free.
