[NLRS] 432.105 net report

[Steve N4PZ]

Hello All

Great net last night even with ice on my array. 
Sixteen check ins.

W8BYA EN70 has his SWR problem solvedand his 100 watts is at the antenna. Next the preamp will be installed at the antenna. His feed line is very long. He worked N4PZ, AB9QH, N9IYV, KC9KCR, WA9HIR and on CW had a marginal QSO with WB0YWW in EN 22 if you can believe that!!!!!.
Great job guys. CW forever.

I was able to work W0HL EM27 70 miles North of the Okla line and W0PT EM28 as well as N0IRS. All SSB.
KC9KCR heard W0PT & W0HL but at the noise. KC9KCR has a 2nd HB DL6WU yagi I built and will install it in the spring. He is on 432.105 all day monitoring so give out a call.

N2CB was in the noise from EN75 but gave it the college try.

K0SIX EN35 same thing. Ice on my antennas or his may have been the culprit. 
KG0SJ and WB0YWW were both their normal S 9 plus in EN52gb. They worked everyone who was on. Bob YWW still amazes me when he works the guys in EN70 or 71. It shows the HUGE advantage of CW over SSB. 
Ten db advantage makes 100 watts sound like 1000 watts.
Learning CW is not impossible.  No more difficult than learning how to type.

Here’s the list of check ins;
