[AK-VHF] NET: July 29 - 144.200 & 146.52

[Brandon Clark]

Hi Ed,

Got some news on the VHF front: I got my new 6 m antennas put together today. I built two identical G0KSC LFA models. One is going to go up on the roof rotator, and the other is built take-down style for portable use.

Full specs are here: https://www.g0ksc.co.uk/2013-yagis/50mhz-yagi/50mhz-lfa/3el-50mhz-1-9m-boom.html

These are supposed to have about 6.4 dBd gain, so they should be good for regional contacts while not being too bulky. I still need to do some waterproofing on the connections, but should have the roof one up in the air by the end of the week.
