[SixClub] ROVER NOTICE

[Richard J. Fiero II W5TFW]

Hi Gang...

The 6M KW Rover is almost ready to hit the road again!

Projected departure is either Tuesday July 19 or Weds July 20

This time a more northerly route with planned stops in DN54, DN34, 
DN23, DN04, DN03, CN83, CN81, CN71, CN72, & CM86.

I Will Also Be Mobile In DM09, DN00, DN10, DN11, DN20, 
DN21, DN30, DN40, DN41, DN51, DN52, DN53, DN54, 
DN44, DN43, DN33, DN23, DN13, DN14, DN04, DN03,
CN93, CN83, CN82, CN81, CN71, CN72, CN71, CN70,
CN80, CM89, CM88, CM87, CM86, CM87, CM97, CM98
CM99, and finally home in DM09.

Last trip I was able to operate FSK441A While Mobile In Motion, 
with great success, on the long lonely straight stretches of highway
that I traveled. I hope to repeat this while traversing the same 
kind of terrain. When conditions do permit safe 441A Mobile 
OPs, Ill be CQing 50.250 and when they dont I'll CQ.125 on 
CW/SSB, QSYing to .150 when possible.  

Only the grids listed, as listed. No other bands. This is about 
supporting peoples efforts to earn the FFMA award on 50
Mhz. Finding operating sites & plotting the route using 
Google Earth took a total of 16+ Hours over several days
in a effort to ensure a successful venture.

We all owe a great deal of Thanks to Patrick - WX7M
for providing the truck, all the radio gear, and his precious
time and energy to make the 6M KW Rover a reality.
