I was already engaged so I couldn't get on last night. 

Peter, on the isopoles, have the connections on the skirts been cleaned lately, A little corrosion can change them from making the thing appear broadband, to it just beeing a relatively poorly tuned vertical with no decoupling.

Yes, it was a good start.

I have IsoPoles for 2 m and 70 cm FM, then a Cushcraft A148-10S for 2 m SSB.  Thinking of replacing the IsoPoles with that dual-band ground-plane that was in QST last month.

What vertical are you using?  I guess we'll have to get the radios worked out for next week, and we also might need to check the repeater coverage.  I'm glad we got 5 check-ins for this net.  It's a good start.
