Colorado this coming weekend. Saturday: DM78 - DM79 - DM89 - DM88 - DM87 - DM77 - DM78 Sunday : DM78 - DM77 - DM87 - DM88 My plans (... for selected definitions of "plan" ) can be found at: http://W3DHJ.net/vhfrover_plans.php NEW FOR THIS OUTING will be a VERY modest capability on 70cm: I will have 70cm, 5W FM (ONLY) with 8 elements - either horiz. or vert. I am under NO illusion that FM is a weak signal mode! I'll be ready to QSO on either 432.1 mcs or 446 mcs. So, if a QSY is arranged, we need to agree on frequency and polarization (and you agree to do FM.) My 70cm lash-up CANNOT be used while underway. (And, I am not yet certain how practical it will be to use even when parked. HI!HI!) (If you have an aversion to FM, as I have, we could try whistling CW through the mic. HI!HI!) 73 ES GL ALL Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | W3DHJ | W3DHJ | http://W3DHJ.net/ Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | __ 38.238N 104.547W | jonz.net | DM78rf | 73 SK From rick1ds at hotmail.com Mon Sep 14 21:22:38 2015 From: rick1ds at hotmail.com (Rick R) Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 21:22:38 -0400 Subject: [Rover] last wk 4 erlybd dscnt MAS VHF Conf Message-ID: Registration now open on-line and by mail.
