[AK-VHF] Trip to Anch - tower brought home

[Edward R Cole]

It was a long trip 365.7 mi; left at 9am and got home at 
8:40pm.  Picked up the Rohn-45 tower (2-pieces) from Pat, 
KL3JH.  This will be used to support my 6-element 6m yagi at about 
24-feet (a little over 1 wavelength above ground).  I now have to 
decide the best location to set the tower. Then dig the hole for the 
concrete base.  A Ham-IV? rotator obtained this last spring will be 
used.  The antenna will be fed with 800w on 6m for eme and meteor 
scatter (and the usual E and F2 propagation modes).  There are many 
stations looking for Alaska to complete 6m WAS or DXCC.

Thanks to all that made this possible
