[AK-VHF] ARRL VHF Contest - June 9/10

[Brandon Clark]

Hello group,

Sorry for the late announcement, but yes, the rover route for the June VHF
contest is still on. For my first time roving here I'm planning to go from
just outside of Soldotna, up through Anchorage, and then to the Talkeetna
area on the first day.
One of my stops on day one will be at the Mount Baldy trailhead, from which
I have reached Ed with 5 watts and a whip antenna on two meters. I should
be able to hear all the way down into the peninsula, and all the way up
past the valley, so keep an ear on the FM and sideband calling frequencies
if you're around on that day.
I decided to also go ahead and push up to Fairbanks on Sunday of the
contest. If you know of any operators up in that area please pass the word
along that I will be coming in to radio range sometime in the morning and
early afternoon.
I still have to wrap up building my gain antennas and then get them mounted
on the truck, but everything should be ready before the contest. I'm
planning to operate on 2 M, 6 m, and 70 cm for this run. I had hoped to
also run gear on 220, but wasn't able to pull everything together in time.
If you're interested in making a few contacts don't hesitate to send me an
email. Also, don't forget that as a Rover you can reach me from more than
one place for credit. If I contacted you and one grid Square you can
contact me again in a different grid square and it is good to go for the
rules.
73,
Brandon
