[Wswss] ARRL JUNE VHF CONTEST: SPECIAL THANKS TO THE ROVER STATIONS!!!!

[Neil Jessen]

Ted, coming from a big-time former rover, you left out
the most obvious obstacle to be thanking rovers
for...still roving with gas at $4.50+ a gallon!  I
haven't roved in a few years so I can't even begin to
imagine what my gasoline tab would have been had I
roved during this latest contest!  So yes, kudos to
those dedicated rovers who get us all those extra
grids/bands!

73,
