[AK-VHF] NET: Sat. 9am - 146.52 FM

[Edward R Cole]

Getting out the notice a little earlier than  normal:

Net tomorrow will start at 9am on 146.52 FM.  This it opportunity for 
all the station with only 2m-FM to participate!!

I had high SWR occured on the single 11-elem yagi two weeks ago 
during net.  I climbed the tower Wed. during the lull in the recent 
winds to discover that the 80-foot LMR-400 feedline apparently failed 
(probably not the ARR sw/preamp).  Too late in the season to run new 
cable so I pondered a work around.

I dug out the MFJ-921 144-220 200w Ant Tuner that I bought years ago 
to tune the 4x10-elem eme array to 146.52.  Works well so I can run 
130w (13 kW ERP) on the net.  I can either leave power off the TR 
relays and receive with the FT2400 or manually switch TR and receive 
with my eme preamps/DEMI xvtr/K3 for more sensitivity.

Be interested to see if it makes a difference on how am heard during the net.

Able to activate 50.125/223.5/432.2/1296.1 on request.
