[AK-VHF] NET: Dec.22 Sat - 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

Net will start at 9am on 144.200 USB.  I will also monitor 223.50 FM.

I have been working on the 2m system and have the new rotator 
installed.  Was working fine but now does not rotate??  Guessing a 
contact problem in the round molex connector now that I have it all 
sealed from moisture.  Also replaced my 2m polarity switching relay 
which has solved the SWR problem.  Old relay connectors black with 
corrosion and no idea how internal contacts look.  I used a Trancso 
transfer relay in substitution.

Still have installation of new 432 preamp and realignment of 900 loop 
yagi to do before raising the array.  Too windy to work today (or 
raise the array).

So I will use the four yagi array tomorrow for Tx and Rx and have the 
FT736R connected to the 2m vertical for alternate Rx.
Hope to see you on the net tomorrow!
