[AK-VHF] Shack schedule this weekend...

[Edward R Cole]

I guess I lost a day, thought it was Thursday.  Here is my status:

50.125 MHz SSB, 125w, 3-elem yagi pointed SE.  The 6-element yagi is 
awaiting reinstalling the driven element and a director.  I will have 
them ready for installing in the morning before the net.  Then the 
antenna needs to be lifted to top of the mast (already loosely bolted 
on).  Coax is run out to the antenna.  (KX3+amp)  High winds a 
problem on mast on tripod.

144.200 MHz SSB, 150w, 4-10-element yagis at 52-feet (K3+amp)
146.58 MHz FM, 30w, 11-element yagi at 45-feet (VX-6R+amp)

223.50 MHz FM, 80w, 2-11-element yagis at 60-feet (using VX-6R as receiver)

432,100 MHz SSB, 25w, 11-element yagi (unknown status with Rx)
446.00 MHz FM, 25w, 11-element yagi, (using VX-6R as receiver) untested

927.50 MHz NOT working

1296.100 MHz SSB/FM, 50w, 16-foot dish (34.5 dBic gain) tested and 
ready  I am hoping the wind dies down (has been up to nearly 20 mph, 
today; facing the dish squarely into wind is not good; takes about 
15-minutes to rotate the dish to Anchorage from parking position)

Meteor Scatter:  50.260 calling frequency, I will call in the first 
sequence using FSK441a.  Anchorage is too close for this 
mode.  144.140 is the 2m MS calling frequency (if someone wants to 
sked me contact me via e-mail before 9am Saturday).

EME: 144.116 is my calling freq., 1st sequence, JT65B, 
1300w.  Moonrise is 0200z  (6pm Saturday)  I will be on in the 
evening if I decide to try eme.  Moonset is 0900z (1am Sunday).
