[AK-VHF] NET: 7 March - 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

The net will start at 9:30am on 144.200 USB

My 2m array is still lowered but rotator is installed.

Had trouble with 12v out to the rotator dropping down to 8.7v which 
is not enough.  Rotator cable was good with 30vac Ham-IV rotator 
which draws same or more current (dropping to 25v was not a problem).

Using a 14.3v-8A PS at the tower it rotates fine.  Today, I built up 
a 22v supply but apparently draws too much current tripping ckt-bkr 
on PS.  So next will try using a dedicated 15.13v PS (old GE Repeater 
30A PS).  That theoretically would supply 10v+.  Really need  17-18v 
supply at 8A.
