Brandon,

2m shot has been done from Beluga Point to SW 
Anchorage and West-side Kenai Penin.  Further 
East the Kenai mountain range West of Hope 
interferes, though possible scattering would 
still reach into Turnagain Arm.  My 2m array 
azimuth rotator is still stuck at az=050 which points to Anchorage.

Hope (BP50) at shore of Turnagain Arm (near Sea 
View Cafe) has shot to Anchorage (but not to 
Eagle River/Palmer).  Good shot up to Wasilla/Big Lake.

Only 6m antenna is small yagi pointing SE for 
West Coast USA (and is Horz and tuned to lower 
end of band).  I have no Vert pol antenna on 6m 
for 52- MHz.  Moxon blew down in winds and have 
not tried to put it back up since VHF 
Contest.  My efforts has been toward erecting 
dual 7-ele 6m yagi for eme.  Running out of time before snow!

GL maybe some can work you near Indian.

73, Ed
