[NLRS] W9SNR/R UHF Contest

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Sorry to hear that. I have my rover ready to roll, I think.

Looking at maps I think its more likely that I'll get to EN43 than to 
EN51 and EN52. I'll have a 9 element yagi on 432 at about 8 feet 
elevation that should get out good but won't be using that while moving. 
Moving I'll be on an omni horizontal antenna. With good locations either 
should work better than the home station because of the shorter feed 
line made of LMR400UF instead of 50 feet of RG6. And I'm sure a matched 
antenna will help.

73, Jerry, K0CQ
