I know we struggle to have the VHF Contest but this is interesting as 
the contest counts distance worked into the score.  It happens the 
last weekend of August which is good wx for rovers.  This is the kind 
of contest for those who also like to combine it with hiking or 
operating an ATV to reach those high places that are so good for 
making long distance shots.  I can even see fat bike or horse mobile 
if that is your thing.  Or just load up the monster 4x4 truck with 
radios and have a blast camping out and doing ham radio!!!

I can do 222-432-927.5-1296-3400-10,368  definitely monster 4x4!

Might discuss this during the net today starting at 9am
