Rovermania plans for WB0LJC is a two  grid rove EN34 and EN35 operating from 
Ridgeway park and across the freeway in  the parking lot of the Broadway 
office building. 

If there is rain I will  be staying home. I setup everything in the back of 
the truck and on the tailgate  so I can't operate in the rain.

This will be in support of the locals and  any rovers out at the 
EN24/25/34/35 grid corner.
I may be able to work the  EN23/33/24/34 corner as well.

I will be on for the building bounce  activity.

Equipment:

223.5      FM  only            5W       6 el VJB Horizontal  polarization
432                               10W       8 el Quagi or 22 el  K1FO
902        CW/FM  only     5W       Short VJB or  33 el  looper
1296                              5W       Short VJB or 45 e   looper
2304                              1W       21 el  looper
3456                              4W       76 el  looper
5760                              4W       18"  dish
10,368                           2W       18"  dish
24G        WBFM  only     10mW  good for working across the road. Anyone  
want to  
stop by and give me a few Q's and two grids?

Band switching will be slow,  I have to change the cables to the interface 
unit.

Liaison on 432.140. I  will change to 432.160 if someone else has spoken 
for.140.
Please remember no  222 SSB for me.

No time schedule for each grid. I will operate in each  grid both days so I 
can give EN35 on
the high bands to the other  rovers.

I figured since the big antennas are not in the air that I would  try to use 
them this year.
I need to fashion a mount so I might end up with  the shorter antennas if 
time runs out.
