[AK-VHF] Parks on the air

[Edward R Cole]

Brandon,

Good t hear you on the net, today.

I'm not versed in POTA but aware of it.  MY guess there might be a 
google group for them or FB group.  If so that would give you some good info.

Maybe a POTA page on ARRL webpage?

Good reasoning on this!

BTW we have a new member (087) WL7N-Mark in Ward's Cove (near 
Ketchikan) CO45cj who is on 6m/2m/432/1296:
<https://www.qsl.net/ak-vhf/AVGMembership.htm>Alaska VHF-Up Group 
Membership (qsl.net)
He is within meteor scatter range of South Central AK and 50.313 FT8: 
798  miles from me on ESE path.

I've heard ms from Ketchikan easily with my 3-element 6m yagi.

73, Ed
