[NLRS] Povermania III - July 30 Update

[Chris Cox, N0UK]

In the interests of simplicity, limited space, and it being the first time 
I will have roved other than the Sisseton to Minneapolis tiny-rove in 
September, I will only be operational on 432, 1296, and 10368 MHz bands.

I was going to try 902 as well, but partly due to the limited number of 
stations with 902 but predominantly due to ease the technical interfacing 
requirements with the I/F rig I have chosen to not do so.

I am not at all sure yet WHERE I will be operational from but am thinking 
the EN23,24,33,34 corner to begin with on Saturday.  It will be a true 
MINI rove in several senses.

I should have 100W on 432, 60W on 1296, and currently seeing just over 3W 
on 10368 due to underdriving the 8W amp with ~650mW.  No chance of 
overdriving it I suppose is a plus but I don't relish being 4.5dB down 
from maximum.

Current thoughts are to mount the 432 and 1296 antennas to the 
basketcase/roofrack combo.  Downside is of course the fact that it will 
only be about 5' AGL.
