[AK-VHF] NET: Saturday, Dec. 15 - 9am

[Shannon Methe]

Ed,

The KL7AA repeater is, indeed, on Flat Top. (Well, down below the  
summit, at about the same height as the parking lot.) If I remember  
correctly, I've hit it from our cabin in Trapper Creek before, but  
never used it to communicate. I used to do all of my operating from  
Flat Top, so we know it's a good location. I'm not at all surprised to  
hear that you had difficulty with the 33 repeater. I can't hit it from  
my home either. I"m actually hoping the local ham community gravitates  
toward the Flat Top repeater when 147.27 goes away. Anyway, just  
thought I'd drop you a note on it.
