>Getting my announcement out early this week:
>
>The AK-VHF Net will meet 14 Dec. at 9am on 146.52 FM.
>I will be running about 120w to four 10-element yagis.
>
>I have a new 6m antenna just installed earlier today so maybe we 
>will switch over to 50.125 USB for a few minutes during the net.
>
>On Tuesday my antennas all experienced high SWR which apparently was 
>due to icing from freezing rain.  Both the 
>144                         and 222 antennas were affected (they are 
>on different towers with separate feedline).  Even reception on 2m 
>was affected.  Never have seen this before.  Wednesday we had high 
>winds and problem disappeared.  So did the ice.
>
>Special Note:  The Geminid's Meteor Shower is Saturday with peak 
>starting at 5am until 1am Sunday.
>6m is the best band for ms and contacts can be made using SSB or 
>digital modes.  If there is interest we can discuss this during the 
>net.  Meteor Scatter is best from about 600 to 1200 miles with 
>maximum range of 1380 miles (2000km).  This encompasses a lot of 
>Alaska and some of the Yukon reaching down to the BC/WA border for 
>stations in Anchorage.
