[AK-VHF] NET: 20 April - CANCELLED

[Edward R Cole]

Update:

Pulled all control lines and coax lines from the 2m tower so it is 
off-line for a few weeks (until area is groomed into new lawn).

I also removed my high-gain dual-band vertical (CC ARX-270) from end 
of garage and removed stand-off brackets.  I will mount it on other 
end of the house using the same brackets and probably shorter run of 
LMR-400.  That will be my only operative antenna until either the 6m 
azimuth rotator is replaced (I have two 11-element KLM 2m yagis 
mounted above at 45-foot), or have cables restored to the 2m tower.

I decided there was no location to side-mount the ARX-270 on my HF 
tower that was not too close to either wire antennas or guy 
wires.  Also removed the ten-foot Rohn-25 tower that supports 
satellite antennas.  It will be mounted on new concrete base at end 
of the dog kennel (with shorter coax runs).

Today earth work was done on garage end of the house and 
excavation/preparation for pouring a 6x24 foot concrete base for a 
dog run and kennel.

Hopefully, my antenna systems will be back in normal operation before 
the June ARRL VHF Contest.
