[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, Conditions were pretty good on forty meters. A little QSB but the band was quiet. During the net I watched a loaf of bread rising on a heater next to me. I could not be sure how long the net would last so I did not put it in the oven. So it kept rising, and rising. By the time it did start baking it was pretty big. I got a soft loaf of bread with great texture. I am glad I did not put the loaf in before I started because the net ran fairly long. People were chatty today, telling me stories about this and that. I turned the radio on around noon and scanned the bands from 40 to 10 meters. Forty was dead at that time while twenty was pretty active. Fifteen meters was wall to wall stations. Ten meters had a fair share of them too. The upper bands are waking up again. It was fun to hear where my antenna could reach. On 7047 kHz at 0030z: K6XK - Roy - IA W6JHB - Jim - CA K6PJV - Dale - CA K0DTJ - Brian - CA Until next week 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com

Works fine albeit shortens the cable a bit. Sounds good, Phil. If you care to start from scratch, an even better solution is to buy two colors of stranded THHN at the big box store, cut equal long lengths of both cables, tie one end to something like a vise attached to a bench, the other to a drill, with the cables stretched out flat, and run the drill slowly until you've passed the degree of twist that you want (more is better). Then set the drill down for a day or so to let the cable "remember" its twist. When the cable is removed from the drill, it will untwist a bit, and the twisting will not be uniform from one end to the other, but it's good enough. 73, Jim K9YC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
