Hi,
I am planning to rove next weekend as listed below.  I have pretty good ERP
thru 10 GHz, and also will be carrying 24/47GHz.  I plan to frequent 50.144,
and 144.240 MHz, while CQing is productive.  I will be working the lower-4
bands in route.  Hope to work everyone within range early and often.  Have
fun es listen for the weak ones!

FM08us     1930-2300 (Great site...3375ftASL)

p.s. My thoughts on WJST...please be careful about QRMing conventional
CW-SSB operations...meteor scatter requires significanly more transmitting
and QRM generation than conventional contesting techniques.  Contesting with
this type of operation is bound to cause LOTS of excess RF on the bands.  I
would hope all the WJST jockeys out there would have the courtesy to stay
away from common CW/SSB frequencies, or you will start a war....and this is
counter-productive to what we all want.  I think WJST is awesome, but I
don't see it fitting in to my roving operations just yet...
