Hi all!
The rovermobile is running, most of the gear works, so I
am going to do a mini-rove.
Current plan is to head for Spruce Knob, WV FM08qe or whatever it is
for the whole day and evening Saturday, from contest start until about
1am local, and then head down the mountain.
Sunday plan is a bit fuzzy, but I intend to pick up FM09, FN00,
FN01, FN11, FN10 and FM19 if time allows. The usual spots unless
another rover is there.
Running good power and antennas on all bands:
6M: 450w/2 el moxon
2M: 400w/7 el homebrew
222: 250w/11 el homebrew
432: 200w/15 el homebrew
903: 150w/modified 33 el K1FO
1296: 60w/M2 35 el
2304: 40w/Wimo 44 el
3456: 40w/45 el looper
5760: 10w/2' dish
10G: 3w/2' dish
24G: .25w/13" dish
903, 1296, 10G had some problems in June, they
are all repaired I think, today 6G seems iffy.
Weather looks ugly, we'll see if we can stay dry!
Easy coordination: 222.35 FM horizontal...try it, it works!
Also 50.237, 144.237, and .137 or .085 all the way up--or
you pick 'em!
73, Good luck and good contesting!
