9am Net

Made it into the 9am net for the first time this morning.

I had been listening to the Net on the Yaesu HT while driving from Kent to the Burien Community Center. I knew I wouldn't be able to hit the repeater from inside the car on the HT so I hadn't bothered trying to check in.

By the time I arrived at the center the first round of checkins was complete and new checkins were called for. I decided to try to hit the repeater from Burien.

I transmitted but doubled with someone. Then tried again and made it on the list. Net Control reported some white noise but said I held the repeater no problem. Not bad from Burien!
