Every Sunday, I look forward to your description of conditions there in your neighborhood as a part of your invitation to participate in the CW nets. You have a thoughtful eye for the conditions and an accomplished talent for expressing what you see. Thank you for your energy and support of the Elecraft community and our hobby.
