[AK-VHF] Net: 28 Jan. - 144.200 USB/146.52 FM

[Ed Cole]

Net Report:

144.200 Noise S0:
KL3WF = S0/S1 (surprisingly low; normally S3/S5 from his home)
KL7XJ = S8

due the light turnout, QSY at 10:05am to:

146.52 Noise S3:
KL3WF = S5 but scratchy due to multi-path; several signal fades to S3
KL7XJ = S9
KL7RHJ = S8 (Kenai)

50.125 Noise S5:
No contact with KL3WF
I loaded my triband yagi with S4 noise and full power (70w)
Heard nothing with it to compare with my 3-elem 6m yagi

223.50:
KL7XJ = 2bars

Only activated 6m and 1.25m bands briefly.  Ended Net about 10:50am

Same net protocol will be followed next week: start on 144.200 and QSY 
to 146.52 half-way thru the net.  My new 170w amp should have arrived by 
then.  I will contact the tower company again to try to have my antennas 
installed.  Working on shed and wiring relocated equip boxes this week.
