Are you interested in doing the January VHF contest in a rover?  The contest is
the Weekend of the 18-19th.

I am planning a joint rover trip with John Hoaglun, KC0LBT and Ross Kroeber,
KC0KOE. We are driving our rover rigs to Iowa on Friday night the 17th and
staying overnight in Nevada, IA at a Super 8.  Saturday morning we are
driving to the 21,22,31,32 grid corner and starting the contest there.  We are
planning to depart the corner in time to arrive in the cities by 10 pm Saturday
evening.  We will work 33 and 34 along the way.

The Sunday plan is to drive up to Hinckley about 6:30am and work 35, along the
way to 36.  Stay in 36 for about an hour and then go south west through 35 to St
Cloud and 25.  Then straight south through 25 to 24 and then back to home.

The operator that was going to work the contest with me has a previous
engagement on Friday night that he needs to attend so he will only be able to
work Sunday.  I would like to find a second op that can work the whole weekend
if possible.   If anyone would like to join me or if you have any questions
please drop me a note.
