Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net preliminary rpt
Hi Tom, Just letting you know that I did hear you faintly here in icy LI, NY. I took a stab at it but I don't even think my neighbors heard me. Correction, I'll clarify and state my nextdoor neighbors as it occurs to me that a ham radio ops' neighbors can be halfway-round the globe. What a great hobby/service! Take care es...

SO at least give it the old college try several more times before assuming you're not going to be heard. And, for those others who DO get through... if you hear someone attempting to QNI (check in) and neither Kevin nor I (nor anyone else) is acknowledging them, PLEASE dump YOUR call in (again) and relay (QSP) that other station when once you're acknowledged by the NCS at that time. 73, Tom N0SS ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Dang Kevein! You forgot to put a note on MY refrigerator! I'll try to remember it is 6PM for next Sunday.

On twenty meters we checked in 14 folks from: AZ, CO, ND, MO, CT, VA, IN, ON, NY, WV, and MA. There were a few times it was tough to pull out a call since there were so many at once. Signals were very good with only a couple cases of QSB. While I thaw some chicken I thought it would be nice to tell you of our success. Sam (the cat) will get a large part of the chicken tonight but he needs to be coddled. His kidneys are failing and he misses his mom something awful. Well I miss her too but I get the feed us both :) It will be lonely when he is gone. But I always have you all on the air! Kevin.
