[W6YRA] Reminder: Club net Wednesday at 6PM (& shack tour)

[Kyle Colton]

I doubt we'd get nearly the propagation we do with the repeater not
connected to an antenna. I think it still is connected somewhere up there,
I just don't think it's that UHF yagi we were looking at. I hate to say
this, but I think it might be the 6m 3-element yagi right next to it, in
which case we should fix it at the soonest possible convenience.

I know you guys were talking about weird SWR, but I don't recall what
exactly. Could an out-of-band antenna explain it?
