[Ed Cole]

Net Report:

144.200:
KL7H - S7
KL7ZK - S9+3dB (audio distorted)
KL3WF - S1
KL7XJ - S3 later S7
WL7XQ/m - by relay from KL7H
KL6M - S5

146.52:
KL7ZK - S9+6 dB
KL7H - S8
KL3WF - S5
KL7XJ - S7
WL7X/m - by relay
KL7BSC - By relay from KL7XJ (weakly heard Brandon's HT south of Soldotna)
KL6M - S5

50.125: Noise=S3 (Yagi pointed az=060)
KL7H - S4

Comparisons of received signals at KL7XJ & KL7UW point to variations in 
propagation as responsible.

My TE-1410g amp overtemp shutdown during FM net (again) pointed toward 
need for cooling fan.

New Hamshack reached 64F today with one 2-kW heater (outside 44F)
