[AK-VHF] NET: Oct. 16- 144.200 USB

[Ed Cole]

NET will begin at 9:30am on 144.200 USB.
I also monitor 223.50 FM and 50.125 USB

I now have use of a single 11-elem KLM yagi at 45-feet.  This should 
greatly improve signal to/from Anchorage.  A test with KL7BSC on 144.200 
from his home showed weak but readable signals. Repeaters show up to 
three s-units more signal received over using my vertical.

Also got the second 6m yagi working so now have 15.75 dBi gain on 6m.  I 
did some 6m-eme last night and copied FO/W7GJ on a DXpedition to 
Rimatara Island close to French Polynesia.  Lane is running a single 
8-element yagi and 1000w.  Copied several other station off the Moon. 
Unfortunately my 1000w amp is faulting so no contacts.

Nikiski got its first snow last night (melted by afternoon).

See you tomorrow.
