[W6YRA] Our first net in a LOONG time!

[Ryan Caron]

Your Rx issues may have had more to do with me than you. I had a hard 
time hitting the repeater from my office, which is unfortunate since I 
was running the net. Kyle, Jill, and Franklin were all very copyable.

I blame my power supply - it was sagging down to 9.8V. I'll have a 
better supply next week. Assuming it stays at 13.8V, that's +3dB.

Sincerely,
