[AK-VHF] NET June 14 - 144.200 & 146.52

[Ken K]

 Sounds good, Ed. I will start out on 2m ssb at 144.200 shortly after 10 am local (100w, 4 el yagi). If that is successful, we can try 432.200 ssb as well (100w, 7-el yagi).  Then I will switch to 6m FT8 by 11 am or so; I'll be in the wsjt contest mode (file/settings/advanced/NA VHF).
I'm about 180 miles due east of Kenai right now; if ssb is unsuccessful, we could always try ft8 on 2 and 432 as well. I think I've scouted a good spot to park at.
I changed my callsign a few years ago; now KL7P. Hope to work some of you tomorrow morning. If anyone wants to try a sked at a later time or mode, contact me directly. Tnx!
73,Ken

Net will begin on 144.200 SSB at 9:30-am, followed by

ARRL VHF Contest.  Starts at 10am AKDST Saturday until 6:59pm Sunday.

June is often when 6m sporadic-E DX occurs: most will be using 50.313 
with FT8.  SSB on 50.125.  50w and 3-element dipole will be sufficient 
if band opens.
