[AK-VHF] Rover Update

[Brandon Clark]

Hello group,

Just a quick update for this weekend's contest: I'm going old school for
this contest and will be running FM only with the Yaesu 8900 in my truck,
and whip antennas. That gives me my usual three bands (52, 146, 430) with
plenty of power for the Anchorage bowl.

Going to see how it works out with just the gear that's already in the
truck. Almost all of my contacts in these events have been local. Operating
from high sites I have a feeling I won't lose more than a contact or two
compared with using the yagis. Should be a good "proof of concept" for
roving with street legal gear instead of the formula one stuff, lol.

Keep an ear on APRS for my beacons. The contest starts at 10.
73,

Brandon, KL7BSC
