1) So far I only have one other person who is  interested in a multi-op.  I 
know that Brent, KD5EMB, and I could run a  multi-op, but it would be better 
to 
have a few more people to help.   We've only got equipment for 222 & 432 
right 
now and an offer for some  3456 gear.  Anyone else interested?!


My 902 may be  loanable.   Its not roverable as the 100 watt amp takes a 
24vdc  supply, plus its kind of more delicate (various boxes connected  together). 
  For roving, I've borrowed GHZs "portable"  902".   If you guys run a 
generator, or have 110 vac, you could use it  .... need to figure out a 2m IF rig as 
I'll be using mine ..... any 2m  multimode set to about 2.5 watts should be 
fine.    At a minimum I  have my yardstick yagi for 902.    From Buck Hill or 
Fly Cloud,  you could work a bunch of rovers with 100 watts and a short yagi on 
that band  .... 902 is more like 432 than 1296 (in my experience).   
 
Anyone have a 1296 system that can be lent out ?   If we could  get these 
guys on 222, 432, 902, 1296, 3456, that would be awesome  !    Hope about a 10gig 
loaner unit .... and maybe the owner to  go with it ?    Remember that 
Rovermania is just 24 hrs .....  1:00 pm Sat to 1:00 pm Sunday.    

I also can loan out my  IC471A, I think it does 35 watts or so all by itself 
(there is a front panel RF  power output control so you can throttle it back 
if needed for an amp,  etc).   I also have a modified 424B (the Road Warrior) 
.... think its  a 17' boom .... that works very well.    The IC471A has 
Powerpole  connectors on it for instance connection to 12vdc.   Anyone interested  in 
borrowing it for Rovermania II, just drop me a note.  Use it in a multi,  do 
a little roving, try 432 for the first time, I don't care as long as you work  
me : )
