We had another informative net tonight with 9 check-ins plus net control, Ken – KA6KEN and some chat room visitors! Tonight’s subjects included:

  • Wondering why we’re hearing weak, other than local traffic on the 145.18 repeater. Answer: This time of year when conditions are good, you may hear traffic from repeaters on the same output frequency in other areas. Pasadena has a repeater on 145.18 and it was probably them.
  • Boom in repeaters in the 70’s leading to boom in ham radio operators in the early 80’s.
  • Pixie QRP transceiver kit.
  • GMRS and PL tones.
