[AK-VHF] NET: Oct. 4, 9am, 144.200-SSB

[Edward R Cole]

The net will start at 9am on 144.200 USB.

Finally finished work on 927.5 and 1296 systems so was able to raise 
the array this evenin:

927.5 is running at 60w with low SWR into 33 element loop-yagi (Vpol) 
and has a preamp.

1296 excessive line loss limits drive to 2w so I am only getting 20w 
to a 45 element loop-yagi (Vpol) and am using my WD5AGO eme 
preamp.  1296 is questionable operation.  I may have to replace my 
1-5/8 inch hardline next spring or run a better line for 900/1296.

I tested 144-MHz power level at my tower-top relays and getting 
predicted 82% of power from the shack.  This indicates that 70% will 
reach antennas.  On 2m-SSB that is 119w at the antennas.
