Well, my first rover attempt was an overall success. I ventured out with 
the bottom 6 bands, making the final cables at 10am saturday morning :)
I worked Mt. Wachusett (fn42) on Saturday. Sunday I worked Marconi Station
(fn51) and a high spot in Plymouth, MA (fn41). My claimed score is 17,712. 

Many lessons learned, but most importantly I had a fantastic time. I can't
wait for the August contest, even if it's not as active. Here are some 
pictures of the setup.

Big thanks go out to Mike, N1JEZ, and Warren, WB2ONA, for putting up with my
many questions. (I also lifted the antenna Idea from mike :)

See you on the air!
