[Moon-net] QRV 144-MHz (end of December)

[Edward R. Cole]

Just a quick note that last Sunday we raised the 2m-eme array on the tower
and all seems functional.  I have not yet re-connected the 7/8-inch
transmission line so using a RG-58 test line with 4.6-dB line loss (only
54w to antennas).  I expect to climb the tower to switch over to the
7/8-inch hard line next weekend.  In testing the phasing lines we found two
bad connections, so now our SWR is <1.16.  I see better transmission (fwd
power indications) so PA must like this!

Next good Moon conditions will be back about Dec. 24 so look for us on the
JT Logger over the holidays.
