[W6YRA] 448.540 back again!

Fri Jan 27 12:04:12 PST 2017

5W, Th-F6A, rubber-duck, inside vehicle, S/B 405...

The machine comes up now back at Skirball - beautiful signal, no 
interference from Mt Thom.  By the time I hit Sunset, solid signal all 
the way in to Lot 2 - full capture, no hint of anything else on frequency.

Spencer - it was great to chat with with you this morning!

I'll be monitoring the repeater between meetings and classes - let's 
make some noise  8*)

73 all!   //Brent  wy6s
