[AK-VHF] NET: Oct - 21 : 144.200 SSB & 146.52 FM

[Brandon Clark]

Hi Ed, 

I'm not going to be out activating this morning. I ended up running out of propane at 5 this morning and had to call it. I had plenty of warm gear for myself, but without a heater it's a tricky business running the radios. 

This was my first time out with a new 5 Lb cylinder I picked up. The cylinder has plenty of capacity for running my Portable Buddy on low, but it got down to 4 degrees and I ended up running it on high. Live and learn.
