[Rover] New to list

[Mike KA5CVH Urich]

I just found this list and am looking forward to what I may learn and
hopefully share.  My son, Chase, KC5MPK, and I "tried" operating as a rover
during the CQ WW VHF contest.  What a dismal bust that was for our first
time out as a rover.  We did learn a bit from the experience however and I
suppose that's what's important.  We're going to go out again during the
ARRL contest in September as well.  We hope the bands are a little more
cooperative.

In the house I have a FT-736R with 6 and a small yagi for the moment.
Mobile I have a FT-100.  I have KB6KQ loops for 6 & 2 that only go on the
vehicle for contests.  I am also looking for links to other "Rover" sites to
see how and what others are doing.  I should have some new pix up on my
web-site over the week-end stop by sometime.
