[AK-VHF] Net Report

[Edward R Cole]

WE had a good turnout for the 146.52FM simplex net on Saturday:
AL2B
NL7OW
KL7RHJ
KL6M
WL7AU

Signal levels were good though not as high as last weekend when there 
was obvious tropo enhancement.
Every station except KL7RHJ was at least S9, here.  Bill was just 
running with his HT so I did not hear him unless I pointed my 
antennas his way (then was S9).

Robert, AL2B, filled us in on the disposition of the Kenai IRLP 
Node.  He has recovered the equipment and looking for a new home to 
host the node. This needs to have 24/7 internet connection and 
preferably a high support for the antenna.  I declined since I run 
QRO on 2m and would have to shut down the node every time I operate 2m-eme.

next week we will be on 144.200 USB.
