We hope to field a rover for the UHF-test in August but first we're planning
to shakedown the UHF rover configuration during the June field day event.
I'll be onsite with the Runestone Radio Club in City Park, Alexandria, MN
(EN25) on Saturday June 26th and Sunday June 27th running CD9EFGHI and
probably talking to myself as these bands are not to busy up in this neck of
the woods. We'll also have 2 meters available for coordination if anyone
wishes to test out their UHF equipment with us.

Note that this location doesn't have great line of sight (due to trees) and
I'll only have the 23' push up mast so the possibilities for great DX
(relatively speaking) on these bands is limited. It will be a good
opportunity to demonstrate weak signal operation during field day to the HF
and FM types in hopes of getting a few new weak signal converts and another
rover for August.

We'll be attending my son's graduation during the June VHF test weekend so
we'll miss that event again this year.
