Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net options

Hi Brian

Sorry for the alligator operation. I usually do not call with the 500 watts but 
turn it on during a QSO if needed. My noise was low last night for being in my 
location but it is never low compared to camping. I thought I might have heard 
something but could not see it on the P3 or even be sure it was not just noise 
ringing in my ears.1

Let's hope Kevin is back on next week and the bands get better again.

Thanks guys!  I appreciate the help.  Once I get the upper guy line out 
of its mini-glacier I'll drop the broken end.  The guy on the center 
tree should be unfrozen by then too.  I am used to fixing antennas in 
the rain; snow just makes it take a little longer.  (Apologies to the 
Sea Bees :)

I gave a listen at 0200z on 40 meters and heard Ken, W0CZ, calling CQ ECN. I 
called him a few times but he wasn't hearing me. Thanks, Ken for taking the 
helm. Sorry I couldn't reach up there to the frozen north. 

Kevin- Good luck on your antenna repair.

Hi Kevin and the group

I tried to call the ECN tonight. At 23:00 on 14.050 and again on at 02:00 on 
7.045. I did not hear any answers although I do have a high noise background 
living in the City. My P3 said -110 on 20 and -105 on 40. I was running 500 
watts from my K line to my Hy-Tower Vertical on both bands.

On 40 I did have a QSO with N6BS after I gave up on the net.

I hope you get your storm damaged antenna back up again for next week. 

73 and good luck getting your antenna fixed.

[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net options

[kev...@coho.net]

Good Evening,

A winter storm came on shore sometime last Sunday.  By Monday night 
there was another 20" on snow on the ground.  It was also bending many 
of my trees almost to the ground.  That night a number of trees exploded 
under the weight; twenty foot sections of their trunks turning into 
shrapnel.  Branches breaking under the load of snow and ice also kept me 
awake.  The next morning I found both of my doublets broken.  The 14 ga 
THHN had parted in the middle where a branch had gone through it.  
Currently each of the three guy lines is under an inch or two of ice.  
Hopefully the coming thaw will let me repair them.  One interesting 
note: the broken trees failed from their compressed side toward the side 
under tension.


   Now for the net options: you can appoint a temporary NCS and carry 
on or we can postpone the nets until I can repair the antennas.  This 
should be by next Sunday.  Since each doublet failed in the middle of a 
leg the repair will be easy once I can free the guy lines.


73 & Stay Warm,

Kevin.  KD5ONS
