[AK-VHF] Net on Jan. 22 - 144.200 USB

[Ed Cole]

Net report:

144.200:
KL0YO - S0 (signal was fading in/out)
KL3WF - S8
KL7H - S1 and later S8 when he had his antenna pointed toward me
AL7LO - S1 (weak but readable)
KL7XJ - S8
KL6M - S7

223.50:
KL7H - 2bars
KL7XJ - 3bars (max reading on my BCM-220 s-meter)
KL6m - 2bars

50.125 (noise S4):
KL6M - S8
KL7BSC - S5/6 (difficult copy of his 2-elem yagi)
KL0YO - by relay (not heard)
KL3WF - S6
*I was not heard at first as I forgot and had antenna attached to my 
kilowatt amp which was powered off; I switched antenna to my 80w amp and 
was heard well.  A "duh" moment.

50.250 PSK31:
KL7BSC - excellent copy (he reported in more detail on this).
noise was running S5 during this test.

Next week the net will meet on 146.52 FM 9:30-10:30 and we will repeat 
the 6m net starting on 50.125 USB and finishing on 50.250 psk31.
