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

[Brandon Clark]

Hello group,

Still been off the net for a while. All kinds of hell breaking lose over
here, but I'll have it locked down and be back on the net soon.

As far as the net start time, 1000 would be better for me. If I'm doing a
SOTA peak or testing out a new location it gives me more time to get into
position.
