[NLRS] Rovermania - Fixted Station Freqs

[N0HJZ at aol.com]

Hi Mike -

I have been working the rover thing and trying to get all the schedules and 
times, etc.    Here are my thoughts:

I hope I do not offend anyone here but I consider you and Gary, W0GHZ, to 
have the stations that will be the "big guns" in the contest.  You've got the 
bands and the antennas and the power.  It will be critical for all the rovers to 
find you two, as well as anyone else they can find.

I want to keep .100 open on all bands.  I would suggest that you pick either 
.090 or .110 as your primary CQ freq.  Gary can pick the other one.  That way 
we'll know where you two will be most of the time.  I have been working with 
the rovers and we will be taking our own freqs at 10 kHz breaks.  W0ZQ on .150, 
W0AMT on .140 and so on.  We will not take .110, .100 or .090 to open things 
up.  I think we go all the way down to .040.  At least that way the fixed 
stations will know where to look for every rover.

I am compiling all the rover data and hope to have a "contest planner" out 
for the website very soon.  It will break down each rovers schedule by the half 
hour.  You can look at a time and see all the rovers that are active at that 
time and where they are.  You'll also see their freq.  Simple!  Point and 
shoot.  Should make it easy to find the rovers and keep things moving.

I'm open to suggestions.  I hope this all works out.  The scores could be 
HUGE but it will take coordination, patience and teamwork.

I still haven't seen anyone wanting to do a multi-op in MN.  How about 
someone pull together a multi-op and blow the N0HJZ multi-op record out of the 
water!?!
