[NJARC] NJARC Net - was Hamming with Vintage Gear

[Al Klase]

Hi Joe,

I think a net is a good idea, especially now that people can much more 
easily get a ticket. There are some problems. Here my run-down on 
options. What did I miss?

*2-Meter FM via Repeater* - This might be the most practical. I think 
Mike Christiansen has an "in" with a repeater club. The whole thing's 
not very vintage however.

*2-Meter AM Simplex - *We tried this a while back with some success. It 
looked like I could work the guys "down town" (Middlesex) due to my 450 
foot elevation. I expect it would be out of the question for you and 
Rob, K2WI. There are also frequency coordination challenges.

*75-Meters - *Would have to be early morning or late afternoon to be 
practical. A decent high-angle antenna will be a problem for a lot of 
folks, including yours-truly after moving to Jersey City. But I think 
this is our best shot.

*40-Meters - *Noonish Saturday or Sunday might work.

*20-Meters and Down* - NG - We're all in the skip zone.

What do you all think?

73,
Al
