[NLRS] Nice note on Upper Midwest Rovers

[w0zq at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.

Looking over the VHF contest comments on the 3830 contesting reflector. 
Here is one nice exert and cut & paste from Bob, K2DRH regarding rovers:

"Matter of fact I logged exactly 3 rovers the whole contest. Too darn 
cold to rove! K9JK/R was in one grid only, and much lighter than usual. 
My hat is off to W9FZ/R who worked me in four grids. Three of them on 7 
bands and one on 6 where we only missed 2304 because his rig would not 
tx, probably due to the cold. KC0IYT/R was also gracious enough to take 
a lot of time and wait until conditions built up enough to work me on 
all 8 bands. I had only two 8 band
sweeps, and K8MD was the other one at 328 miles! "


I think a big thank you to K9JK, W9FZ, and KC0IYT for venturing out in 
the very cold temperatures, snow, and dark, is in order. Rovers work 
hard in hard conditions and those of us in our heated & comfortable 
shacks should keep this in mind.

73, Jon
