[Rover] Planning for Upcoming Contests

[rover@mailman.qth.net]

To all you Rovers out there:

You're probably starting to think about where to rove for the June
contest and what route you will take (in addition to the usual stuff
about rigs, antennas, etc.). One of the hardest things I've come across
as a Rover is identifying sites to operate from. If you want some ideas
for a site or two, you might stop by the "N2MH RoveSite Locator" page at
http://www.intac.com/~mherson/rovesite.htm . I've started to collect
info about sites that may be useful to Rovers.

At the very least, the site will give you the name of the site, its
geographic coordinates, Grid Locator, and links to map making machines.
You can generate a map that will tell you how to get there, a topo map
of the site itself and even an aerial photo of the site.
Additionally, some sites have an individual description page depending
on information at hand.

Right now, there are mostly East Coast sites included. However, if
anyone wants to have other locations added, please send them along to me
and I'll get them in there.

73 and Happy Contesting
Mark, N2MH
