Comments:
It has been 3 years since Terry (W8ZN) and I (Andy K1RA) roved in an ARRL VHF
contest in the K8GP rover. We'd put a fair amount of time this year into
reworking the van. This included rebuilding the front pneumatic mast, switching
V/UHF amps from 12V to 50V and migrating from batteries to generator. We also
built an I/F switching system that allowed us to share the 4 low bands between
both operating positions using 2 sets of power divided antennas on 50-432 MHz.
My normal low band position also had a small 900 & 1296 MHz setup, as well
as Terry's 902-10368 MHz uwave gear. Check out some pictures and videos of the
contest operation and preparation here -
