[NLRS] Fw: Re: Support your local rover(s)

[Ronald Bergantzel]

 Hello All !!  I would really suggest
 that anyone wanting to give FT8 a try -  do that for
 the 2m sprint Monday ...... It will prepare you for the June
 contest . Its really not that difficult .....
 I will be QRV at the farm ( barring any
 winter damages ) , I did acquire a very good USB sound card
 for the TS2000X interface system and should be QRV with full
 legal limit running that on 2 m ( with the FT991 as backup )
 . I will be keeping an eye on 144.174 FT8 as well as being
 QRV on any other modes ( moon is still up at beginning of
 contest and am open to any early EME skeds as well as ANY
 MSK144 sked requests for the later part of the sprint .)
 Main thing is to have fun and enjoying the warmer weather
 propagation ( come on Aurora !! ) Again and sked requests ,
 any mode !
 73s , Ron KA0RYT EN35ct MN.- Support
 the Rovers !
