[AK-VHF] NET: March-11 - 144.200/146.52 & Up

[Ed Cole]

Special operation times this week:
9:30am - 10:00am 144.200 USB
10:00am - 10:30am 146.52 FM plus:
50.125 USB
223.50 FM
432.200 USB/446.00 FM*

Brandon -KL7BSC/p will be on the Sterling Hwy east of Sterling with his 
truck portable system and using IC9700 on 2m & 70cm with yagis
Also IC7300 on 6m with dipole and selected HF bands with vertical.
This will be a POTA activation so every contact counts.  He will be 
capable of SSB/FM/FT8.

The hwy in the mi 62-64 range is higher than that to the west so offers 
better access north (I can bring up 146.94 repeater along there).

Leave details for Brandon to post.

10:30- will be exclusively used to contact Brandon.

*Note: I had a hunch that my vertical might be working on UHF and tested 
SWR=1.1 from 420-450 MHz (with 58w).  Station is now wired thru a manual 
4 pos coax switch to enable 2m/70cm/33cm/23cm (once antennas are 
installed on the tower).  2m/70cm QRV thru the vertical.

I will be QRT at 11:00am for breakfast as I have a worker arriving at 
noon to work on my new hamshack.  Should be an interesting net and more.

73, Ed - KL7UW
