[AK-VHF] AK-VHF Net 9am on 146.52 - tomorrow

[RuthAnn Bledsoe]

Hi Ed >>>

     I called a bunch of times on 146.52 FM from 0930L to 0950L running 100
watts out, but I never heard anyone come back.  Just wanted you to know that I
tried!

                                               73,

                                               Craig, KL4E
