[AK-VHF] AK-VHF Net - 3 Sept on 144.200 USB

[Ed Cole]

Net Report:

144.200:
WL7BER - S0 (heard his callsign but most was not understandable - to weak)
KL7XJ - S9
NL7OW - S0 (weak but readable)
KL6M - S0 (weak but readable)
KL3WF - S0 (not readable)
NL7OW - S0 (weak but readable)

223.50:
Kl7XJ - not readable but heard single toggling on/off (confirmed on 2m)
KL6M - 2bar on his diskcone; 3-bars (max on the bcm-220) on his 7-elem yagi

50.125: (noise=S4)
KL6M - S7
NL7OW - S8

Interesting how propagation varies with frequency.

If wx cooperates and man-lift i available to rent, I will try to hang my 
two 2m KLM-8 yagis at 45-feet on my 50-foot tower; pointed az=060 toward 
Anch.  Also hang my 80 & 40m dipoles at 40-feet.  Before next WE.

73, Ed - KL7UW
Enjoy MARA Hamfest; consider the ARRL VHF Contest on Sunday (ends 6:59pm)
