Net report:

Wx: 15F, calm, clear sky

Rptrs; V=Vertical antenna, Y=dual 8-element Yagi
146.91 - S5 V
146.94 - S9+2dB V, S9+5dB Y SWR = 1.45
147.03 - S9 +17dB V
147.24 - OFF
147.30 - S9+1dB V, S9+2dB Y SWR=0
147.33 - S7 V, S8.5 Y? SWR=0
146.52 SWR = 1.35
144.200 SWR = 1.35

144.200 SSB, Vertical only:
KL5PJ - S9+3dB
KL6M - S9 (dual yagi's + 100w)
KL7PK - S5
WL7XQ - S0
KL3WF -? S5
KL7ZK - S9+8dB (yagis pointed to Anch)
KL7JHR - S9+2dB

144.20 FM, Vertical only:
K5PJ - S9+3dB
KL6M - S9
WL7XQ - S1/S2
KL3WF - S7
KL7ZK - S9+8dB
KL7JHR - S9+2dB

VHF conditions seemed slightly enhanced

Troubleshooting my SWR problems on the yagi feed revealed a bad NF/NF adapter (bullet)
at the junction of the 1/2-inch Hardline and 8-foot LMR-400 jumper to the LMR-600 tower cable.
As noted above, worst SWR now is 1.45 on yagi cables

I may have 18-element UHF yagi connected by next week.
