Looks nice. And is that an actual USB connector on the back?? 73 Dan -- Amateur Radio Emergency Service, Clark County Indiana. EM78el K9ZF /R no budget Rover **QRP-l #1269 Check out the Rover Resourc
Wow, that would be great:-) Although, based on previous discussions we have had here on the reflectors I doubt that it will happen. But it would be cool! 73 Dan -- Amateur Radio Emergency Service, Cl
Looks like fun! I've never been able to attend a conference before, but Morehead is only a few hours from home for me so I hope to attend. Any other Rovers planning to make the trip? 73 Dan -- Amateu
Absolutely! Keeping a Rover on schedule is nearly impossible. Either you make your schedule so vague as to be not very useful, or you can't stay on schedule. 73 Dan -- Amateur Radio Emergency Service
I think we are all over looking a pretty simple solution. Typically, quads don't fit well with VHF ops because it complicates putting several antennas on the same mast. Like the traditional "Christma
Group, I am giving a presentation on contesting, and the INQP in particular, with a good deal of VHF contesting and Roving thrown in. The presentation will be at our local club meeting, THIS Friday..
Trying to get my calendar set at work today, and couldn't locate the date for this year's CQ-VHF. The web site still shows last years 'test. I assume it is July 17/18 this year, but can anyone confir
Hi Austin, I decided to go with a rotator several years ago. Out here in the midwest, nearly every QSO comes from a different direction. Using the vehicle to turn the antennas, or the old "armstrong"
Hi Bob! All of the rigs you mentioned will work, of course. I used a 746, way back then, with a couple of transverters for 222 & 432. Worked great, but takes up a lot of room:-) Currently, I'm using

I'm planning basically a couple of portable expeditions this time. Gas prices have really hampered my Roving... EM68wo on Saturday and EM78bp on Sunday. Both sites have very good elevation. I will ha
The ol' FT897D is installed in the truck. The amps are in place, and all cabled up. The rotor and push up mast are mounted in the back. The yagi's are in place and feed lines have been run. The extra
Was testing the Rover setup and found some great Es on 6 this evening. Followed a "cloud" from New York over to North Dakota :-) Even worked a Chicago station, EN52 > EM78, very short sporadic E. Kep
Wow, those are some pretty incredible totals. Not surprising given the conditions on 6m this time. I was pretty proud, I worked 60 grids from the Rover this time out! Not bad for 100 watts and a Moxo

Looking for a good deal on a brick for 222. Hoping to find one in time for my Rover trip in the June VHF contest. The transverter I will be using will have 7 or 8 watts out, so I would like to find a

Sorry guys, Woke up today with a migraine, so the plans are out. Will hit a couple of hilltops later if I feel better. 73 Dan -- K9ZF Amateur Radio Emergency Service, Clark County Indiana. EM78el The
I'm afraid I'm one of the hold outs... I tried setting up LOTW a couple of years ago, and ran into problems. Got the postcard from the ARRL, and had tons of trouble getting the software to work... Fi
Call CQ. Call a lot. Use a voice keyer, it makes the contest much more enjoyable. Many casual operators will turn on the rig, tune across the band a few times, hear nothing and turn off the rig... Ke
