[AK-VHF] NET 9am - Contest 10am Saturday

[Edward R Cole]

Good news to report:

I have repaired my high-power transmission line and fully QRV on 
2m-SSB/FM with 150w.  Array was raised about 3pm today.

Net will start on Saturday at 9am on 144.200 USB.  After about 20-min 
we will QSY to 146.58 FM to take check-ins.  Then if there is time 
and interest other bands up to 1296 may be activated.

At promptly 10am the ARRL VHF Contest begins.  I will be operating 
144.200 USB and 146.58 FM concurently until 10:15pm.  Then I must QRT 
and leave for work.  I hope many of you will continue to operate 
during the contest as it is a good time to work many 
stations.  Contest is valid on both SSB and FM-simplex (NOT on 146.52 
or any repeater).
