[AK-VHF] ARRL VHF Contest this weekend

[Edward R Cole]

Alaska VHF-Up Group supports the ARRL VHF Contest which will start at 
10am on Saturday, June 11 - 7pm Sunday.
6m and up is used for the contest.

We suggest using 144.200 for USB and 146.58 for FM simplex.  146.52 
can be used to find stations to work but you should work the contest 
off 146.52 (using 146.58 makes it easier to find other station in the contest).

On UHF 432.200 USB and 446.00 FM are suggested.  Please respect other 
users on the UHF calling frequency.

The AK-VHF Net begins at 9am one hour before the contest and will be 
on 144.200 USB this Saturday.

I will have both 2m SSB and 2m FM in use with separate radios and 
antenna.  I will also operate 50.125 USB with a horizontal yagi and 
80w and hope to have my 100w 223.50 FM system back in working order 
(uses two yagi).

We encourage VHF stations to participate.  Using my 2m four yagi eme 
array with 150w  I can work many stations in Anchorage from my home 
in Nikiski (12mi north of Kenai; SSW from Anchorage and S from Big Lake).

I will make one more e-mail announcement on Friday with status of my 
station/bands.
