Author: James Duffey <JamesDuffey@comcast.net>
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 2008 20:13:47 -0600
I had a great time in the UHF contest, despite a modest score. I roved to 9 grids, made 24 contacts in 3 different grids. I am happy with this given the usual low level of activity in the UHF contest

I thought I would share my recent experiences with rover antennas to use while in motion. My first 6 roves, through the June 08 VHF contest, I did not operate while in motion. I went to good spot, st

Les - I am not an experienced rover. I started roving in the June 2007 VHF contest and have roved in 7 contests since then. So I have some experience with starting roving from scratch. Here is some a

Frank - Good points. I would add a few points. The Arrow antenna is probably a poor choice for a beginning rover. The two bands have orthogonal polarization and the beginner is best off with horizont

have been told that it's lossy on 2M SSB. You got good advice from nearly everybody. As others have said, it depends. Three big considerations are how much loss can you stand, how long is the feed li

Well I managed to subdue the IF problems for the transverter, so it looks like I will have 222 MHz for the rove. This is a new band for me, so I am a bit uncertain in new waters. Still some last minu
