[NLRS] My last pre-contest posting on RoverMania

[John P. Toscano]

Well, only about 3 hours to go before the start of action.

Having received no more updates from any of the rovers, there will be no 
more updates to the NLRS web site until sometime after the contest is over.

As far as the W0JT/R effort goes, I am still not finished with getting 
my vehicle set up and ready to go, due to other pressing (non-hobby) 
committments.  At this stage, it appears that:

   1) My original schedule is out the window, although I did not bother
      to change my listing on the NLRS web site.  :(

   2) I will start late, and now there's no way I can possibly work
      16 grids, so I am going the change my location plans considerably.
      I will probably start out in the EN23/24/33/34 corner first, then
      go to the EN33/34/43/44 corner next, then head north.  Probably
      take a trip into the metro area and hit one of the local 10 GHz
      sites with a view of downtown to gather some 10 GHz QSO's with
      the locals, then head further north to EN35/36/45/46.

   3) Due to all the uncertainty, I would say don't waste a lot of time
      looking for me until you've worked me at least once, or have heard
      someone else say that I finally made it on the air.  After that, I
      hope you will look for me a lot (like ALL the rovers).  :)

   4) As of this moment, 2304 is not working.  I will spend some more
      time trying to make it go, but it's still a big question mark
      right now.  :(  :(  :(

I'm out to the driveway to finish assembling things.  Hope to work lots 
of you, lots of times, in lots of grids, on lots of bands!

73 and have fun out there!
