[AK-VHF] POTA Run Itinerary 2022-10-15

Sat Sep 24 16:05:36 EDT 2022

This schedule sounds great. My TS520 is putting out weird metering now. While I haven't hooked it up to a wattmeter yet to confirm power output and troubleshoot, (I'm doing that today), I may need help from someone on this new issue. 

Also, at some point, I want to build VHF and UHF yagis, and I would like to make high quality ones so some help would be appreciated by someone at some point. I need someone to talk me through matching or baluns involved in the construction. I get the theory, but actually applying it to building one is something I would like help on. I made a tape measure yagi years ago for foxhunts but I want to build a nice one to last and to transmit from.
