Nice turn out, today:
Call:     Array* S-meter:  FT-2400 S-meter**
KL7XJ  S9+5             S9
WL7XQ S9                S9
KL6M   S9+5             S9
KL7DR  NR
WL7AU NR                S6 (noisy Q4 copy)
KL7XU   NR              S7 (Q5)
KL4E     S8             S7 (Q5)

Notes:
* Array is lowered to 12 foot above ground for maint
** single 11-element yagi has inline preamp on tower  S9 is full 
scale reading on FT-2400.

446.00 FM test:
KL6M good copy on Baefong HT (5w) and ARX-270 (12-dB omni gain); tip 
at 37-feet.
heard barely WL7AU
KL7XJ solid copy

I will arrange my cabling to connect ARX-270 with my DEMI 432-28 
(25w) transverter thru an external TR relay
for next time (maybe for Tuesday simplex net).  This only operates on 
432-434 MHz for SSB/CW.  I will try to fix my transmit power problem 
for 223.50 FM, as well.
