Net will begin at 9:30am on 144.200 USB.  I will also monitor 50.125 USB.

My 222 radio stopped transmitting (no RF output) so QRT for the 
meantime.  Planning to have it repaired (or repair myself if not too 
difficult to access the insides of the radio).

---------
Progress continues on the 2m-eme array with two (upper) yagis installed. 
  Tomorrow I hope to connect control and rotator wires to jct box at 
ground level (before they are frozen to the ground.  Also making tower 
bracket for azimuth rotator and drilling hole and mounting thrust 
bearing to tower top plate.

Looks like several days without rain but cold next week to  enable 
continued assembly of 2m antenna system.  (three weeks until ARRL EME 
Contest weekend)

When 2m array of four yagis is installed on the 30-foot tower, Net 
operation on 2m will be better than currently with a single yagi.

May have clear skies-cold temps tomorrow which might enhance 2m 
propagation like two weeks ago.
