[AK-VHF] NET: tomorrow on 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

Nice turn-out for it being Easter Weekend:

KL7XJ - S8 (with S8 noise level); S5 on KX3+7-elem yagi pointed his 
way (S3 noise)
WL7AU - S7 inc to S9 (with S7 noise)
KL4E - S9+15 from home; S7 from mobile
KL6M - S9+10

We discussed the new net sched and calling procol.

At end of net I remembered to mention that I will be gone for April 
25 Net (FM) and May 3 Net (SSB) so if someone would like to assume 
the role of NC for those weekends the net can continue while we are 
in KY at a conference and OH&MI visiting with family.
