QSY to 146.42 when 146.52 was jammed by keyed up radio (mobile siting on mic?)
Found out why 2m yagi's not working (remote relay was in UHF position feeding UHF yagi-duh).

Net will begin at 9:30 am on 144.200 USB. 
At 10:00 am net will switch to 146.52 FM.

Other bands can be activated, if desired:
50.125 SSB (High SWR: probable coax issue outside;  internal coax good.)
223.50 FM (my radio not operational)
432.200 SSB, or
446.00 FM

Replaced TR relay bypass coax in 432 Amp and UHF Yagi shows SWR=1.4 (which is pretty good since one leg of 0m dipole lays across the boom ahead of the yagi driven element).
Progress on 2m 300w amp: pcb mounted waiting for amp transistors. Bottom plate with fan installed ad 6-dB 90w attenuator partially installed.  Rack panel remains to be built.
