small turnout, today:
KL7XJ - S9 but noise level was nearly the same
KL6M - S9+20
WL7AU - S9+5
on 432.200 USB:
KL6M - S3/4 with his ARX-270, but the two yagi brought him to S5 
(with S3 noise floor) with his 10w.
WL7AU - S3/4 weak and 50w partially copied.

Clearly I need a yagi and preamp mounted up near the antenna as my 
22w and ARX-270 are marginal with preamp at the transverter. 
Something I will work on in May.

Next week the net will held on 146.52 FM
Note: I will be on vacation and need alternate NC for 4/26 & 5/4.

73, Ed - KL7UW
