[AK-VHF] NET: Saturday, Aug. 2, 9am

[Edward R Cole]

Looked like the Net would end up no-show again but Chip, WL7AU, saved 
the day checking in at 9:25.  His signal was up/down on a slow QSB: S7-S9+.

Fortunately the local noise source that has plagued 2m was not 
operative today.  MY next door neighbors sold their house and moved 
in the last two weeks.  Be interesting to see if the noise disappears?

Chip has the opportunity to get a 15-16 foot dish so we discussed 
that.  I encouraged him to follow up on that.  He thinks he can get 
it for taking it down.

Next week the net will meet on 146.52 FM for the whole hour.
