[NLRS] [BC'ers] CQWW VHF Contest plans

[Larry Peterson]

I have updated your spreadsheet now, Paul, for my rover plans.  I’ve got a few weeks now to equip my second ICOM 7100 Go Kit for digital, specifically FT8 operations.  I think I’ll try digital first 1/2 hour of each 2-hour cycle, then SSB, followed by 15 minute move to my next grid square.  My setup/take down now is very rapid...about 2 minutes.

Rover activity is off to a good start:  Wyatt, AC0RA, is going to start down in Illinois and work his way north;  Larry, WA9TT is planning on eastern and northern Wisconsin;  and Jon, W0ZQ is fishing for activity plans before deciding on a route.
