[AK-VHF] NET & Contest - 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

Net report:

Only one check-in:
KL3WF - S7 on 144.200 (noise floor is S3)

Also worked KL3WF for the contest on 144.200 and 50.125 (where he was 
stronger at S9 which is interesting since he uses a vertical yagi and 
I am using horizontal).

A few calls on 146.52 FM, 223.50 FM and 50.125 SSB, I netted no more 
contacts.  Not really surprising with the MARA Hamfest running today.

I will leave all three radios running thru the day but I have stuff 
needing to be done outside (on a nice sunny day).
