[NLRS] Rovermania III - Prelim plans, July 26, REV C

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

.... and just heard from Matt, KF0Q.    Matt's current plans are to run this 
one as a portable station in EN44da so I  have added his info below.   Seven 
rovers, one portable.    Who else is coming out to play ?   Remember, all plans 
are tentative  & non-binding ! 

73, Jon


Hello NLRS land.    

Just an update regarding Rovermania III, the ARRL UHF contest ( August 5  -6, 
1 PM to 1 PM, 222 and up ).   

First John, K9JK, will be  writing up the contest results for the League, so 
please forward any  post-contest stories & information to him .... logs go to 
the ARRL contest  robot (or paper logs via mail) as usual.     

Second,  I have added the "Off-of-down-town" activity hours below.   The idea 
 is that not everyone can make it out to play for the whole contest, but 
perhaps  you can find 30 minutes around one of the activity times to aim at  
Downtown.    Remember, all plans are tentative & non-binding  ! 

Anyone else gonna come out and play ?   .     

73, Jon.
