[AK-VHF] June VHF Rover Route

[Brandon Clark]

Hello group,
I was curious, what is the usual rover route that operators do up here
during contests? From looking at the grid squares it seems like a route
starting in Homer or Kenai and traveling north through Anchorage to
Talkeetna would cover most of south central Alaska.

With six hours of driving (according to Google) it could theoretically be
done in a day, although with operating time added in that's probably more
like a two day contest route. My guess is it would likely require setting
up skeds with local fixed stations too.

I'm getting my mobile station put back together so that has me thinking
about the June contest. I've never roved before but plan to operate on the
50, 144, 220, 440, and 1200 bands. Any advice would be appreciated.
73,
Brandon
