[AK-VHF] THREE WEEKS - Jan ARRL VHF Contest

[Edward R Cole]

Jan. 21-22 10am Saturday to 7pm Sunday (AKST) is the January ARRL VHF Contest.

Time to check out that VHF/UHF gear to be ready.  I do not know if 
any rovers will get out in middle of winter but cold wx often 
produces really good tropo-propagation in the form of inversion 
layers over Cook Inlet.  So good contest to try 144-1296.  6m solar 
activity is usually low unless Aurora happens.

Meteor scatter, eme, and digital modes are allowed but no use of 
satellites, repeaters or digi-peaters.  No aviation mobile.  But just 
about any other form of mobile is allowed: snow-mobile, dog sled, 
ski, snow shoe all fine...plus your usual mobile.

CW/SSB/FM simplex.  See the suggested calling frequency table:
