I have also made some changes and fluffed up my VHF Rover information
page:

	http://w3dhj.net/vhfrover.php

No skeds.  I don't do skeds.  It's not that I have anything against
them.  It's just that I never remember a sked until 30 minutes _after_.
And, no, I don't need suggestions for additional equipment and
complexity to manage scheduling...  HI!HI!

GL to all.

 Rovers - if you are within range of grid FN21 please send your rove

There can be many unforeseen challenges for a rover:

  http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-33129833

As for me, my biggest distraction this weekend was way out in DM87 in
S.E. Colorado -- where I had 3 individual U.S. Army convoys roll by - at
30 minute separations; each about 2 miles long.  I did a lot of waving
with my left hand while calling "CQ CONTEST" with my mic in the right
hand.

They had some serious resources I sure could've made use of.  HI!HI!

I know that for most of you the ARRL JUNE VHF contest is
just a fuzzy memory.  But for me....  My wet clay tablets
have been baked dry and I have now transcribed my cuneiform
log into Cabrillo contest format.

As for propagation, activity, and points, I would rate
this contest as mediocre'ly good.  The late-day prop
that showed up on 6M Sunday had some unusually long-term
short hop elements to it.  Alas, no 2M Es went with it.
In fact, 2M was pretty poor all weekend.

Many thanks to the rovers and mobiles that I worked.
Likewise, thanks to those that take the extra effort to
work the weak ones.
