[SMCARA] Tuesday Night Net

[Dave Q]

Dan, interesting thing happened today.  We lost power here at about 4pm.  I
didn't have the radio on but turned it on my backup battery and I heard
Chris, KC3ERI, and another person talking.  When I looked it was stopped on
443.050 and I could hear them better than I've ever heard the 650 machine.
I was just going to break in and see if I could hit that repeater when the
power came back on.  As soon as it came back I lost it completely.  So
something must be interfering when the power is on.  I was getting S8-9 on
the meter and about S2 with power on.  I'd hate to have to throw my main
breakers every time I want to use the 443.050, not.

73... Dave - W3DLQ
