<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are a few who are actively communicating on
223.500. I know that is the call frequency. Our use is intentional to
determine if there are others in local range. As many of you are aware, the
band has some interesting properties in terms of propagation. So get out your
HT or whatever you have and join us. (I have a dipole on a stick that goes to
the first responder needing some kind of antenna. It was outdoors in the snow
and rain and worked with inherent limitations).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The intent is to start a net. The name will be
the HLH net, short for the "Hairless, Lumpy Head" Net. Something everyone
might find easy to remember! Why the bizarre name you ask? A couple of us have
been having strange experiences with antennae. Raising antennae reducing
signal strength as evidenced in simplex communication and repeater signal
strength and completely loosing repeaters was/is the most perplexing issue.
Thus the hairless result of pulling one's hair out, lumps from banging
head on wall and RF exposure. OK, I am kidding about the RF exposure part. And
no one really has become a hairless lumpy head over this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if enough people get on board, the idea is to
move to 223.58 MHz for the net. As the .58 group continues to grow, the
thought is to use 52.58, 146.58, 223.58 and 446.58 as frequencies to explore.
Mode would be FM. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Be listening on 223.50!</FONT></DIV>
