[NLRS] Rovermania II

[Justin Glasener]

Hi guys,

As Jon stated below, us CVVHF'ers will be doing a multi-op from
W0UC/W0AIH (EN44hr). We will hopefully have large amplifiers on
222-1296 and may even get the 10 Ghz dish up on the tower. So, before
all you rovers head out west, consider a rove to the east. We will be
sure to make your trip worth while! :-)

Also, does anyone have any extra 2304 or 3456 gear that they would be
willing to loan out for the UHF weekend? We have the dishes but just
need some transverters. N0AKC, KB9PJL, and N0EDV will be at the NLRS
10 Ghz testing this Saturday and could pick up any loaned gear.

Thanks and see you in August. 

Justin, K9MU
