Paul,

Thanks for the reminder.  I am planning to be in the contest both days:
Saturday: 8 June 10am (local) contest from HOME on six bands.  I will 
take the day off from work for this.
Sunday: 9 June  (11am-12) operating Rover from BO49, Diamond Ridge 
(1100-feet) above Homer with 150mi view of Chugach Mountains above 
Anchorage.  Thinking to QRV: 6m/2m/432/927.5FM and possible\y 10-GHz 
if KL7FZ is available (from Chugach SP?).  This is a 100mi trip 
(one-way) so will take over 2-hours to arrive and set up.

June VHF Contest is a great time for rovering with summer wx!

73, Ed - KL7UW
PS: NET: 9am tomorrow on 146.52FM
