[AK-VHF] AK-VHF Net - 3 Sept on 144.200 USB

[Ed Cole]

Fall is here!  Happy Labor day WE.

Net will begin at 9:30am on 144.200 USB.  I will be using my vertical as 
when I tested two of my eme yagis (at 18-feet) test signals thru 146.94 
repeater were ones s-unit lower than using the vertical (which is 
26-feet at the base).

I will also monitor 223.50 FM and 50.125 USB.

Next WE is the ARRL Sept VHF Contest starting at 10am on Saturday 
running until 6:59 pm on Sunday.  Saturday is also the MARA Hamfest, so 
expect many will attend that.  I'll suggest operating the contest on 
Sunday starting around 9am.  146.52 is a good frequency to monitor for 
making contest contacts.

Saturday I will set up on 6m FT8 on 50.313 at 10am with 3-elem yagi 
pointed toward the West Coast.
