[AK-VHF] ARRL VHF Contest

[Brandon Clark]

Hi Ed,

I'm monitoring intermittently through the morning while I get the last of my station items working together properly. Now that the antennas, coax, and rotator are done I'm putting on the final touches: saving memories in the rotator for different bearings, arranging cables, making a needed coax jumper or two, etc.

I'll be monitoring 146.52 throughout the afternoon. I'm also occasionally turning the beam south to see if any FT8 decodes come through.
