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

Other bands can be activated, if desired:
50.125 SSB
223.50 FM (my radio only operational in Rx - Tx no modulation - Carrier brings up 224.94 Repeater)
432.200 SSB, or
446.00 FM

First test of new 300w amp with 1w drive produced over 50w (est 100w).  28.5v from Bench PS is current limited at 5A 
I have 28v-18A Astron PS to provide operating power (amp draws about 14A at full drive of 8w at 80% efficiency that should output 300w).

Working on it today
