[AK-VHF] ARRL Digital Contest This Weekend

[Ed Cole]

Brandon,

I will be available after the AK-VHF Net at 10:30am.

I still have my 6m station configured for use with the 1000w Harris Amp 
so can provide a strong signal toward you.  Hatcher Pass entrance is 
within a straight shot from Nikiski so my signal ought be seen by you.

Depending on antenna gain and power you run, I might see you on FT8 
using 50.313.  Are you going all the way to Independence Mine or lower 
on the road?

Also wonder if 147.33 repeater is accessible where you operate?  I can 
hit it fine from Nikiski (for coordination).

Note: I will be attempting 6m-eme using Q65A on Sunday at 10:50-11:50am 
on 50.189 MHz.  Antenna will be on az=59 at Moonrise (which is directly 
over Anchorage from me).

73, Ed - KL7UW
