Q1. Where are you checking in from and, if you have your license, what was your most recent contact?
A1. Ann Arbor, MI, grid EN82dg.
Most recent contact this morning on a morning roundtable net, pedestrian mobile on 2 meters via #N8DUY , with Jim #W8STX as net control. Band conditions fair in the early morning, there is interference when the band is long.
W8STX is there every day, keeps a log that he posts monthly, and generally directs traffic on the net. Thanks Jim!
11 of us on the #N8DUY 800a morning roundtable (#VHF, 145.15- PL100, #AnnArbor area repeater covers much of metro #Detroit).
A report that yesterday we had a Canadian station #VE3TCS Tim check in at the end (though I did not hear him).
I could copy a few stations on the input, from my QTH standing outside the Westgate library coffee shop. (Indoor reception not anywhere near as good.) That included Wes #N8QM as he was driving past on M-14.
Thanks to Jim #W8STX for being net control.

Fantastic morning 2m net on #N8DUY
From the 8th floor of the parking structure I have clear line of sight to the repeater and got good reports at 30 milliwatts! Bumped it up to 300 mw and it was full quieting.
Thanks Jim #W8STX for running the net.
Now inside with the morning coffee.
Scheming to do AREDN portable next as there is line of sight to a station there as well.
