This is incorrect. No one has ever suggested that the multiplier change based on the least significant digit of a six digit grid locator. No one will work you after the initial QSO as you will be a

I have never trusted that method. In theory it works fine. But...if the ALC fails, or the TIB or other source of negative voltage fails, or the radio puts out a high power spike as Eric mentions (and
Before I had a transverter in my rover, I had stations ask if I had 222, and I would reply that I only had FM. If they did not have a 223.5 FM station available, they would ask that I work them on FM
I have roved successfully along the front range in CO, NE, and WY, as well as here in Maine using KB6KQ loops. I used single loops on 6 and 222, a pair on 2, and a pair on 432. I was consistently tol
For the most part, this is just the opposite of what I have experienced as a freelance rover on the Front Range of CO. Everyone is looking for the rovers at the start, knowing that the locals will be
