K9JK/R DID get out and visited 6 Grids - EN50,51,52,60,61,62
222 59 x 11
432 59 x 12
1.2G 33 x 8
Claimed score 20,424
Other Rovers W9SNR/R and WB8BZK/R were out in the local area
(and we traded a number of QSOs with each other, 53 total for
me, but it was quite far from anything resembling a 'pack' or
any sort of 'dancing'), but nothing heard from the "Stoned
Monkeys" who were active around Chicago and submitted a number
of rover logs last year.
It appears that the R-ZERO-V-E-R virus may have been "contained"
for 2010...at least initially, it appears to have NOT had the
widespread impact it had in 2009.
Highlights...K8TQK remembering to look up this way which
benefitted many of us, fixed AND rover (including a 1296 QSO
from EN50xx to EM89je for me, 457 km!). Fixed Stations K0PG,
K2DRH, W9SZ and WO9S (57 of MY total QSOs) hanging in there to
find us rovers as we moved around.
