[AK-VHF] Rover Run Complete

[Edward R Cole]

Agreed!  Both Brandon-KL7BSC signing KL7VHF/R and Ken - NL7B/R made 
this VHF Contest very enjoyable.

I worked 22 QSO's on 50/144/222/432 in five grids.  What was 
surprising was to work a couple stations north of me with my 6m yagi 
fixed pointed SE.  The rovers activated the grids (two of which 
normally have no activity.  I think Brandon qualifies for the 
Pathfinder Award 
<https://www.qsl.net/a/ak-vhf//Awards/>https://www.qsl.net/a/ak-vhf//Awards/ 
from the AK VHF Group.  Ken was our first Pathfinder in 2011 using NL7HJ.

Other long-shot was that NL7B received my weak signal on 144 SSB over 
a path of approx 350-miles passing thru the Alaska Rang to Murphy 
Dome NW of Fairbanks (dog-leg shot).  Ken was using a 4-element yagi 
for receiving; I ran 140w into my four 10-element eme array Pointed 
az=021 Which crosses over 4,000 foot Mt. Susitna about 70-miles north 
of me.  Pretty sure if a couple yagis (10 or 12 element were used we 
could have had a 2-way contact).

Haven't worked up my score, as yet.
