[AK-VHF] AK-VHF Net 9am Sat.

[Edward R. Cole]

The net will meet on 144.200 MHz USB at 9am tomorrow.

I was not able to repair preamps in time to raise me yagi array, so I 
will be running 90w with the 17-foot 9-dB whip, again.  I am able to 
use a preamp in the shack which helps a hearing a little.  But my 
signal will be lower than normal without the array gain of 19-dB.

I spent the afternoon repairing a relay that I bought which had no 
continuity thru it.  The common coax connector was screwed out so a 
1/32 inch air gap existed to the contact.  It is an mw sma relay so 
pretty fine workmanship inside.  Seems to be working so it will go on 
one of my two preamps for extra protection on the eme array.  Kinds 
rained today, too!

Probably rainy tomorrow, so grab some coffee and join me inside he 
shack and dry!
