[AK-VHF] Sept. 2011 ARRL VHF Contest

[Edward R. Cole]

The ARRL VHF Contest is this weekend (Sept. 10/11).  The contest 
starts at 10am Alaskan time (1800utc) and will follow the AK-VHF Net 
which will run 9am-10am Saturday.  The net will start up on 144.200 
USB and I will have my 2m array back in the air with 75w.  We can 
rotate around the VHF/UHF bands to give everyone a chance to test 
before the start time.

I will have:
6m: 125w + 3-elem yagi
2m: 75w + 4x 10-element yagis
70cm:  11-element and only 5w (unless I move the Mirage amp inside 
from the dish which might give me 20w).
927.5 MHz FM:  13w + 33 loop-yagi (I hope; I have a control cable 
issue to fix on Friday if wx is clear)
1296: 6w + 45 loop-yagi

I hope there are a lot of stations active like there was in 
June.  Please spread the word.
BTW FM simplex is allowed for making contacts (see rules and 
suggested operating freq.):
