[AK-VHF] K3 GasFet Preamp Repaired

[Edward R Cole]

After some tests that verified my ARR P50VDG preamp was blown, I 
successfully replaced the GasFet.
This improves the MDS from -136 dBm to approx -145 dBm.  And that 
means I will be able to run the K3 on 6m digital modes during the 
contest since the K3 is already interfaced for WSJT modes on 2m (the 
KX3 is not interfaced to my computer as yet).

This also enables running a CQ script on CW (beaconing).  Look on 
50.112 during the contest.

AK-VHF NET at 9am tomorrow morning starting on 144.200 USB switching 
to 50.125 USB toward the end of the net.  CQ VHF Contest begins at 10am AKDST.
