The Net is out of sequence since I goofed last weekend and changed it to SSB.

So I am keeping it out of sequence the next two weeks (146.52FM on 
June2 and 144.200USB on June9).
It works out nicely for the June VHF Contest which is 10am 9June to 
7pm 10June Alaska Daylight Time.

I can run about 75w on 146.52 due to high SWR on my four yagis.  At 
144.200 I run the full 150w which is why I am easier to copy in SSB.

Tomorrow we will probably discuss contest plans.  If unable to copy 
on 2m, we may have a short round-table on 3920-KHz after the swap net 
completes about 10:45am.

Since my work at Wal-Mart precludes a lot of my time, this weekend 
will decide what I am able to get operational for the contest.  Goals:

1.  Rebuild my tower-top relay box for 222/432 with preamps for both bands.
2.  (if 28vdc PS tests good) ... Install 60w 1296 PA and 100w 927.5 
PA  on tower#1
3.  Construct Down East Microwave 25w 432 transverter

Does not look like I have time to build up the 3w PA for 10-GHz (I 
Have a 1w PA).  Rovering to 1100-foot Diamond Ridge (Homer) is 
contingent on time on Sunday to load pickup and drive down there.  I 
will operate Saturday from home.
