[AK-VHF] Rover Run

[Brandon Clark]

Hello group,

You've probably all seen the email blast that went out. In case you 
haven't, Ed has posted the schedule for the KL7VHF rover run at 
https://www.qsl.net/ak-vhf/2020_June_VHF.pdf

This will be the longest rover run we've done so far: from Anchorage to 
Homer. If anyone knows hams on Kodiak consider reaching out to them - 
I'll be in range on Saturday evening and Sunday, so we might be able to 
set up a sked. If they are beaming towards me on the peninsula them some 
of the Anchorage stations might be able to pick them up too. Fingers 
crossed.

There is also an updated calendar on the site:

The only big change was the September VHF Contest/MARA Hamfest. The MARA 
club had some challenges finding a venue for their hamfest (covid 
problems), so the only date they could get was contest Saturday. We were 
already planning to help out with the hamfest, so we reached out and are 
joining forces for that weekend.

On Saturday morning I'm going to show off the rover and make a few 
contacts from Wasilla. I'll be running a short APRS workshop in the 
afternoon to help out with the hamfest. In the evening I'll probably 
make a few more contacts. The contest runs through Sunday, so that will 
be the main day for contesting. I'll do a short rover run around the 
Anchorage area on Sunday so that we can still get some contesting in.
