[HCARC] Monday net

[H. Vordenbaum]

The repeater is down for some unknown reason.
I called the net using 100 watts and beam antenna.
I had 17 check ins.  I then switched to an omnidirectional gain antenna, but 
didn't get anymore.
It shows how useful a repeater is especially if one doesn't have a good 
antenna for 2 meters.
One problem is that some stations can't manage to switch to simplex and wind 
up transmitting on the repeaters input frequency.  One should know how to do 
this or have a separate memory channel set up for it.

I could only hear a couple of snippets of conversation on the net this 
evening. Did anyone else have similar problems?
