[AK-VHF] NET: Sat. Jan. 4 - 9:00am

[Edward R Cole]

Net results for Dec. 27 & Jan. 3:
Dec. 27 - 146.52 FM only had one check in: KL4E/mobile

Jan. 3 - 144.200 USB:
KL7XJ - S8/9
WL7AU - S9

Dale had some trouble hearing me at the beginning of the net so we 
both were doing some checking (my signal was a little lower at 90w vs 
120w, but didn't think that would be the issue.  Dale found a bad 
coax connector).

When WL7AU checked in it was obvious that I was getting out.  I had 
switched back to the K3+xvtr+150w amp into the 4x yagi eme array so 
pumping out my usual signal.  With the Vpol preamp down I was 
listening on Hpol pretty well.

ARRL January VHF Contest is coming on Jan. 24/25 starting at 10am on 
Saturday so time to get your station ready for the coming contest:

I have problems on 432 (High SWR again) and 927.5 Radio Rx is not 
outputting audio (probably a connector issue between control head and 
radio).  I will try to put up my 432 satellite yagi on the tower next 
to the single 144 yagi, to replace the existing 11-ele 432 yagi 
(which is beyond reach ten feet above tower top).  Seems SWR is wx related.

Next week (Jan. 10) will be on 146.52 FM.
