[AK-VHF] June VHF Rover Route

[Brandon Clark]

Hi guys,

Thanks for the advice on routes. It sounds like the general idea I had 
is feasible, but I'll have to be mindful of timing so I can catch the 
main activity in the anchorage and valley areas at the right time of 
day. Below is a first draft of a route. I think it's ambitious, but not 
so ambitious it will completely fall apart. If this list of locations is 
feasible the next step will be making the timetable. As was suggested, 
I'll announce plans well in advance on the local nets and try to set up 
skeds.

 1. BO49: Happy Valley area on hwy 1, aim antennas towards Kenai & Soldotna,
 2. BP40: Set up somewhere in Soldotna (ideas?), use omni antennas to
    pick up local contacts,
 3. BP50-1: Pull to side of road on Hwy 1 just over grid boundary, aim
    back towards Soldotna again with 6M and 2M,
 4. BP50-2: Roadside pullout between Anchorage and Indian, work all
    bands into Anchorage,
 5. BP41: Kinkaid park near the nike bunker (will need help finding
    that), Work Anchorage and Valley on all bands,
 6. BP51: Mt. Baldy trail parking lot above Eagle River, work Anchorage,
    Kenai peninsula, and valley on all bands,
 7. BP41: Find a spot near Willow, work whomever I can reach through the
    trees (anyone know a high spot?),
 8. BP52: Cross the river and grab a few contacts near Susitna North,
 9. BP42: Talkeetna downtown, pick up local contacts,
10. Take a few hours to relax, eat, recharge, then drive to Healy area
    in the night,
11. BP53: Healy area on Sunday morning, beam towards Fairbanks (not
    really sure what's available in BP53),
12. BP54: Set up on side of the hwy where it drops down to Fairbanks,
    aim antennas into town,
13. BP64: Set up in a parking lot on he hill where the university is,
    work locals again.
14. Go comatose for a while . . . .

Thoughts?
