      N9LAG will  be operating Rover in the June VHF
contest both June 9Th and 10Th.  The plan is to leave
my home grid of EM57 at the start of the contest, go
South on I-57 to I-55 then into Missouri then to EM56.
Take Rt 60 to Popular Bluff, MO stay the night Sunday
morning take Rt 67  North into EM47 and EM48. At
Festus, MO  back to EM57 to Cape Girardeau, MO then 
into Illinois heading back  home.  
       Will have 6 meters, 2 meter and 432 SSB/CW and
FM on 146.58 and 446.  Using vertical antennas and a
Yeasu FT-857d.
        Would like to put more grids on the air than
these but due to some serious health issues (I have
end stage renal failure, congestive heart failure,
diabetes, and am unable to stand or walk without
special foot ware to support my lower legs) I'm 
unable to go much farther or for longer periods as I
would prefer. The XYL will be driving so that I might
be able to operate from these girds as we go down the
road. 
         Hope to C U in the contest and possibly pass
along a needed grid or two on as many of the bands as
we can make contact .
