Hey, everyone. Weather permitting (which it's looking good at the moment), I'll be getting out for a fairly ambitious rove this coming weekend.

All the locations and times are on the K1RZ map and should be fairly accurate. But I thought it might be worth mentioning it again here for anyone who's not constantly reloading the map.

Saturday:

1400 - 15:45 : FN10xc, East Earl Township, PA
1600 - 18:00 : FN20ad, Sunny Crest, PA
1910 - 21:00 : FM29hx, Gauntless Community Center, PA

I am fairly solidly booked up in FN10 and FN20, so I will not be calling CQ from those stops at all. I've also got a bunch of other rovers to work and not a lot of time to do so. If you hear me, feel free to respond but it's a tight schedule so I'll have to keep moving.

FM29 is pretty much wide open at the moment. There's stations I will be messaging to arrange contacts - if you want to get in on this, please send me a message or email. I will also be calling CQ here.

Sunday:

0800 - 0900 : FN31rg, Hammonasset Beach, CT
1020 - 1120 : FN41bp, Ekonk Hill, RI
1240 - 1450 : FN42fg, Westborough, MA
1640 - 1850 : FN32ou, Hogback, VT
2125 - end  : FN43cd, Henniker, NH

FN31 has been disappointing in the past so I'm only giving it an hour this time. FN41 was a pleasant surprise last time, but again I'm only planning an hour here. After that, everything is pretty much wide open and I'm spending longer at each stop. I'll be calling CQ from each stop, and I'm happy to arrange skeds too.

I've got everything through 10 GHz with good power and antennas on each band, and I can work pretty quickly if needed. So yeah it's pretty ambitious, but I think it's doable.

To make a long story short, text/email if you want to arrange something, and if you hear me please respond and be ready to run the bands.

- Chris
