[NLRS] RoverMania - June 28th update

[jcplatt1 at mmm.com]

Rich now has tentative plans for N0HJZ/R, W0ZQ/R, N0DQS/R, W0AMT/R, KF0Q/R,
K9JK/R and W0JT/R.

In addition the following stations have indicated that they either will be
roving or are thinking about roving:  K0MHC/R, K0PJ & N9ILT/R's, and
WA2VOI/R.    If you are thinking about roving, please forward you tentative
plans to Rich at N0HJZ at aol.com and/or post them here.   Again, this is
tentative.

After we get a few more postings our next actions will be an attempt to
coordinate this bedlam.   1:00 PM on Sat. will be MADNESS, yes RoverMania
MADNESS.

Once we get a few more postings we will see if we can get W0JT to post the
rover maps to our NLRS website.

Based on what Rich has told me so far, here is just a taste of what is
starting to come together
  *  If you work those seven rovers listed above on 222 & 432 you'll have
33,864 points (a great score).
  *  If you work those seven rovers on 222 - 1296 you'll have a score of
159,516 points.
  *  If you work those seven rovers on 2304 too, you'll have a score of
292, 152 points
  *  If you work those seven rovers on 3456 too, you'll have a score of
410,850 points
  *  If you are lucky to also work the rovers on 5760 & 10 GHz, you'll have
446 Q's, 3,090 QSO pts and 197 multipliers for 608,730 points !

This doesn't even include any other stations or other rovers.   Wow !

Sure, its not realistic to expect that everyone is going to work everyone
from everywhere, but its interesting to look to see what the system
capability is.
