> For the past 2 days I have been helping Pat-WX7M get his 6M
> KW Rover ready to roll.
>
> Brand new Dodge Ram with a 50 ft telescoping mil surplus tower
> mounted in the bed that's raised using a 12V winch. Also mounted
> in the bed on a wooden deck are a 4KW 220V AC Generator and
> a IC-PW1 KW amplifier/IC706mkIIg body in a custom made
> aluminum transit case with 6 muffin fans to keep it cool.
>
> The M2 5 ele 6M yagi rides down the road as one piece on a
> aluminum cradle mounted on the Passenger side of the vehicle. When
> stopped its a simple matter to stand on the wooden deck mounted
> above the roof and install the yagi atop the safety wired Create
> RC-5 rotor.
>
> While mobile it will be possible to operate on 80-10M HF using one
> of the monoband hamsticks that ride in a tube mounted on the ladder
> rack. 6M Mobile operation will utilize one of KB6KQ's latest style
> 6M loops.
>
> The radio and amplifier are used via remotely mounted control heads
> in the cab of the truck.
>
> Over a 5 day period the route will take me from Fallon NV to the
> AZ/CA border and then up thru central UT to NE NV and finally
> back home to Fallon NV.
>
> Grids traversed in sequence are... DM09, DM08, DM18, DM07,
> DM17, DM16, DM26, DM25, DM24, DM23, DM35, DM36,
> DM37, DM38, DM39, DM29, DN20, DN21, DN11, DN10,
> DN00, and back to home to DM09.
>
> Planned stops (KW W/5ele yagi at 25') are only in the following
> grids... DM17,DM25, DM23, DM36, DM38, DM39, DM29,
> & DN20. The rest will be worked while mobile in route with the
> KQ loop.
>
> Modes will be CW, SSB, & either 441A or JT65B (when stopped).
>
> When you hear me please post that info so others can get into
> the log as well.
