[AK-VHF] NET - SAT. Jan. 26 - 146.52 FM

[Edward R Cole]

The following stations checked in:
KL7RHJ - Bill from Kenai -S7
KL7XJ - Dale from Kenai - S8
KL6M - Mike from Anch - S9
KL4E - Craig from Eagle River - S8

A suggestion to alert Moosehorn ARC members by e-mail was suggested 
by Bill.  KL7UW replied that e-mail announcements for the Net are 
posted on the AK VHF-Up Group e-mail reflector which AK-VHF members 
can subscribe to.  4-5 others that have history of checking in are 
copied in cc:

The FM simplex net is done on 146.52 on the popular calling freq. to 
reach out to area hams.  All are invited to join into the net.

But mostly those participating on the FM Net are the same stations 
that check in on SSB.

Adding a long list of e-mail addresses in cc: category with the 
AK-VHF posting is not passed by the mailman host as suspicious of 
virus, so I limit the number of e-mail addresses  for that reason.

During the net two stations were heard in the background barely heard 
operating in the Anchorage area (apparently not hearing Net 
Control).  That is a common situation for FM stations which aren't 
designed for simplex use outside their local area.  The Tuesday night 
Big City Simplex Net serves them better with a local NC.

Next week the net will be held on 144.200 USB.
