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.
