[Rover] N2MO/MM to activate FM39 for contest

To All,

I received the following email from Steve, N2CKH, about his club's
participation in the contest from FM39 abord the vessel BUMPS. Steve can be
reached at [email protected]

73, Mark, N2MH

Hello Mark,

  We plan to be active again during September ARRL VHF contest as N2MO/MM,
  predicated on good weather of course. We hope to have many more operators
  next time around to keep all the stations active 100% of the time to
  provide even more opportunity to work FM-39.

  The beautiful trawling vessel BUMPS was made available by N2IHN for this
  high seas adventure. To learn more about the vessel BUMPS visit:
  http://www.njsr.com/bumps/. The team had a great time contesting at sea,
  taking into account all the challenges that abounded operating from an
  anchored boat in the ocean. This effort resulted in a seasick N2CKH, many
  happy VHF contesters and a claimed N2MO/MM score of over 45k points and
  lots of QSL cards.

  The vessel BUMPS will anchor about 200 feet center of 39� 59.652N and 73�
  59.213W off the New Jersey shoreline in view of land about the area of
  Normandy beach.
