[AK-VHF] Winter Field Day

[Edward R Cole]

Brandon and crew,

Hope you have a good time.  The AK VHF-Up Net will be operating 
146.52 FM next Saturday starting at 9:30 am so you might look there 
for some contacts.

I'm thinking of renting man-lift for the weekend so will not have 
much time for the winter-FD.  Might run some FT8 on 6m.

But wx us supposed to be good Saturday for doing my tower work.  May 
be done before end of Sunday.
