[AK-VHF] NET & Contest - Sat. Jan 19

[Edward R Cole]

Sorry, but satellite contacts not allowed (are considered assisted in 
same sense that repeaters do).  Also no aviation mobile is allowed, 
but ship mobile is fine as long as located inside a grid with land 
included.  The whole point of the VHF contests is to test 
point-to-point communication over distance (thus use of grid counting 
in the score).  If your station is remote controlled using internet I 
guess you use the grid square of the transmitter location.  Remote 
base seems more of an HF thing at this point.

Still got some soldering to get done before 9:30am.
