[ILQSO] Rover Freq.

[Craig Thompson]

I will listen on 146.55. However, the ARRL was the body that had frowned on
146.52 for contesting. Since VHF activity has been way down, they have
removed that caveat from their contesting rules. I am glad that their might
be any activity at all on 2m! The general 2m population that might be on
simplex though, may respond to a CQ on 52.

SSB has issues with holding a frequency compared to CW. Like Jim said, find
an open frequency. However, if you are mobile, it is tough to follow you
when you could be any where! The 40m and 80m bands have nets and groups
that meet everywhere and will run you off if they can. The earlier you get
to 40m it will be more local. However, the band will go long and you will
start hearing and working stations far away.....not that that is bad. Jim
suggested getting to 75m soon also and you may try to place yourself
between 3800 and 3850. The trouble will be how quickly the frequency will
be taken when you leave.

Good luck to all!
