[AK-VHF] NET: 3 August - 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

On 144.200:
AL7JX (Anchor Point) - S6 readable signal peaking AZ=85 vs 60 (Anchorage)
later
KL6M - S7 (but over S9 at Az =85)
however:
KL7FZ - S6
WL7AU - S6
KA1NVZ - S9+
all peaking AZ = 60

Worked on 223.50 FM
KL7XJ for contest points
KA1NVZ marginal
KL7FZ weak but Q5
KL6M - good Q5
s-meter meaningless on 223 radio

Tried 446.00 and a station respond too noisy to copy
432 SSB not outputting RF

Contest was not advertised with much notice so turnout low.  We now 
have a calendar of events (including contest dates) on
