Noted signals down a bit from normal (propagation)

Now have both 2m and 6m radios locked to 10-MHz freq std
and more equipment connected with 12v power.
Repaired N-connector on 1/2-inch hardline going from shack to tower at 
the house (eventually for 222-MHz feedline)
Did some wiring at equipment boxes located a tower base to add 
432/900/1296 capabilities (soon as man-lift available).
Dry Wx for outdoor work now rare!!

Net begins at 9:30am on 144.200 SSB ad continues until 10:00 am.
Then we switch FM on he same frequency (144.20).

If desired, other bands can be activate, such as:
50.125 SSB
223.50 FM
432.200 SSB
446.00 FM

My 222 Radio is not transmitting audio so is RX-only.
