I just finished "scanning" the survey results, and more importantly, the comments. I hope the committee will see some patterns in these comments. I noticed that many people objected to some of the qu

That goes along with what I was saying. Many of the comments pointed out "weak" spots in the poll. I would like the comments used to build a better poll. I think change is inevitable. I just hope our

Yuck. This would be the death of Roving, and likely VHF contesting with it. I don't like this one either. I've never grid circled, why give me a penalty? 73 Dan -- K9ZF /R no budget Rover **QRP-l #1

I actually like the idea. I think distance scoring would be a blast. I'm not sure, however, if the VHF contesting community is ready to use 6 digit grids. I still get quite a few folks who don't kno

Sounds good. I like the idea of 1 point per km. Although I would suggest adding weighting for the upper bands. It's much more difficult to make a 200 km contact on 2304 than six meters... How about

Anyone ever use the Warren Gregoire head sets? How is the tx/rx audio quality? I picked up a new FT897D primarily for Roving, and need a new head set. Currently, this is about the only one in my pric

While I agree that dipoles and loops work, and are much better than no antenna, I would hesitate to recommend them to "new VHF+" ops. I think the many hours of white noise between QSO's keeps a lot o

I have to agree with Frank, I like to have big antennas for the Rover. I guess it depends on your "audience". If you are planning to Rove through urban areas with most of your contacts at short range

I usually run 11.5 to 12 feet above ground level with no problems. After awhile, you learn to watch for tree limbs. It gets to be a habit even when you aren't in the rover:-) You do have to watch for
