[AK-VHF] Fwd: Re: NET: 6 March - 144.200 USB

[Edward R Cole]

FYI to the reflector:  Roger/KL4ZS and 
Kristie/KL4ZT of Talkeetna have joined the group.

They currently run a IC9700 with 100w on 2m with 
a Comet GP-98 vertical at 53-feet (830-foot ASL) and planning for adding yagis.

So please look their direction to help them participate in the nets.

73, Ed
