I can't help but to remember that this is the time of the year that those "Only ## Days Until the FQP"
posts by the the late Jim White, K4OJ would start showing up on the reflector. What great reading
that was !! Hearing the W4AN call all over the 160 meter band this past weekend made me think
about these two guys who we lost a couple years ago.... If I remember right the FOC Marathon,
which is this weekend, was the last contest JIm operated.
Anyway, the purpose of my post is this. I have the desire go rovering again in the FQP this year.
My usual partner K4BAI is unavailable. I have contacted some of my old MRRC buddies who like
to do this type of thing and they are also unavailable. I thought I would post a message on here to
see if anyone would be interested in joining me ?? I have everything we would need. Previous
rovering experience would be nice but is not required.
It takes a certain type of person to do this. Being mobile you are not always loud and it can be a
struggle at times... but despite this you need to stay aggresive. But when you get in the right spot
you get a pileup going it's as good as it gets as if you were in the Carribean during a DX
contest..You need to be a hot shot CW operator because 90% of our contacts would be on CW. If you
are seriously interested send me a private email and we can talk.
