Hi Ed,

FB on the upgrades.

 Thanks, Paul.
 
 There were two entries from AK for the Sept.
 2017 VHF Contest.
 
 I will be
 updating the AK-VHF website main page in the coming week to
 
 reflect 2018 events.
 
 I have two major changes going on in my station
 that will affect my 
 participation in Jan.
 contest:
 1 - New RazTrak digital az-el
 encoder/tracking system on my 2m 
 array. 
 This will also be installed with the new 6m array in May
 2018.
 2 - New M2 18-element 432 yagi going
 on the 2m-eme array (in center) 
 plus 100w
 PA and preamp at tower top.  Replaces broken (high swr) 432
 
 yagi on tower #2.
 
 Also welcome new member Jim-AL2M from Palmer,
 AK.  He receives member 
 #78.  He has 50w
 on 2m.  He was added to the reflector last night.
 
 Merry Christmas and good
 VHFing!
