[AK-VHF] Field Day 2023 Tomorrow

[Ed Cole]

Brandon,

Our (Moosehorn ARC) day will begin at 9am Sat (local) picking up our 
trailers in Echo Lake to move to FD site near Challenger Center in 
Kenai.  Setting up will take at least an hour to get 20m yagi & station 
going.  May also hang a dipole for other bands.  AL7LE is club callsign.

I will have my 50w mobile station for 146.52 FM using 3-dBi whip. 
Reaching Palmer area may be a bit of a challenge with just the mobile.

We have a club potluck planned for afternoon so might get home by 3-4pm 
to work 20m FT8 14.074 MHz.  Will run 1D AK class at 100w into 3-elem 
yagi at 50-foot.  I can also monitor 146.52 with my dual 8-element yagis.

--------
Just started my computer on 14.074 and seeing DX from JA, DL, and UO so 
band is open (Ant is my 6m 3-element yagi pointed NE).  I have to 
reconnect HF coax line  after using that port for the 6m moxon in the 
VHF Contest two week ago (moxin back in storage).

Not sure how FD ops will be run by our club (usually quit at 24-hours) 
to take down and store trailers.

73, Ed - KL7UW

After making contact there I can help QSY you over to other ops on other bands, if you're available. I'm sure the team would love local contacts and support.
