>From the Southeastern reaches of RoverMania 'central'...

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.

250, JK
