I worked W0GHZ on 222 thru 5.7 so the  rovermobile is primed.   A new 
improvement this year is integration of  a single keyer with a beacon mode switchable 
to all three radios .... a Bencher  paddle for on the road !    Sorry, no 
more Mr. Straight Key, but  it does ride along for backup.   The new FT897 seems 
to wrk well on  432.   Last step is to figure out how to get 10 and 24 gigs 
left in  the space that I have.    Hey Mike, is it OK if your 24 gigs gets  
strapped to the top of the car ; )  

I am going to be sending out  the Excel file that contains the rover routes.  
 I hope there is time  for JT to integrate onto the website.   John, I have 
added what bands  each rover has at the bottom of the sheet.   I guarantee 95% 
accuracy  .....     If I get any updates, I will add them as best  possible.   
Not added at this time is KF0Q/R and N0DQS/R.

To  all rovers, drive safe.   Rule #1, be safe.   Be aware of  rural power 
lines, they are always low.   

With all the rovers  out, and the length of time it takes to complete 
microwave contacts, not  everyone is going to work everyone.   Get on, makes some 
Q's, look for  a new grid or two, and send in your logs.   Remember that the 
contest  is 1:00 pm Sat to 1:00 pm Sunday.

73, Jon
W0ZQ/R
