[AK-VHF] AK-VHF Net: Feb 26- 146.52 FM

[Brandon Clark]

Hi Ed,

Couldn't make the net yesterday morning, but I'll be on the air tonight. Did you want to plan on a PSK31 freq in case we can't make contact on SSB? From my location it's usually hit and miss on that path.

Something I keep forgetting to mention is that I have quite a bit more gain on 70 cm (14 element yagi) than 2 M (5 elements) or 6 M (2 elements). Might have to try that out next Saturday.
