I've updated the page with a couple of new ones, thanks y'all.

Also I have a question about rover RULES.  I know that many people have
dedicated, or nearly dedicated vehicles for roving.  Something Chase and I
would love to do is have a dedicated vehicle such as a used van for that
purpose.  We're a long way from being there but I have been shopping around
for a small used "bread van"  or possibly on of those little van chassis
school buses to permanently set up with antenna's and such so all I have to
do is pull the rigs out and load up and go.  I'd eventually like to get to
where I even have extra rigs that would be permanently mounted too!.

Anyway ... just how much can you do on a vehicle before it reach's the
classification of being a "big gun" on wheels?  What if I were to outfit a
full size school bus where I just stop ever so often ... crank up the towers
and get after it?  Yeah I'm thinking along the lines of K8GP, just scaled
down and a lot more portable.
