[AK-VHF] ARRL June Test

[Edward R Cole]

Thanks for the "heads-up"!  Only three days to get ready.

Unfortunately, I am very busy getting a contract kit out the door to 
a customer.  And then I need to replace my Triode Board and calibrate 
the meters, bias, and over-limit settings to get it QRV with the 
2m-8877 to operate eme next week (soon to be revealed big deal event).

Sooo....I down scaled my contest plans to operate six bands at home 
on Saturday, and (If my KX3 2m transverter module gets delivered by 
Friday pm) to make a 6m&2m roving trip to Homer's Diamond Ridge 
(1100-feet ASL) with clear view of Chugach Mtn Hillside above 
Anchorage 150-mi to the north. That will be 11am on Sunday for an 
hour or until the calling  ends.  The grid is BO49, which is 
relatively rare on VHF, as Homer lies on the other side of the ridge 
and in the radio shadow of stations to the north.

contest info & rules provided by Paul.
