[AK-VHF] NET: 21 March - 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

The net begins at 9:30 am on 144.200 USB.  I will also monitor 223.50 
FM simultaneously.

2m rotator is working and have it pointed az=55 which in the middle 
of most stations in Anchorage.  I checked  QRZ.com headings for most 
of our regular net check in:  KL7FZ az=40.5; KL6M az=59.7 are the two 
extreme headings.  AL7JX (Anchor Point) az=193.8 (but we hear each 
other when I point toward Anchorage.

Last week had seven check-in's with good signals (and my beam heading 
was az=43).

My eme preamp is shot so running the FT-736R without preamp on the 
array.  I dug out an old 2m preamp and have it connected to the 
vertical feeding my transverter (for Rx only).  Shows 25-30 dB gain 
(I believe its a mgf-1302 Gasfet).  But the FT-736R receives very 
well without a preamp.

Join us tomorrow!
