[Fourlanders] N5AC contest roving ?

[Rogers, Ron]

Hi Steve,
 
Where is your QTH (Grid) located now that you have moved ?
 
Well, certainly EM 80 and 90 would be great for us if we could link up with you on a couple of bands from there, but we would be happy to work you in any of those northern FL or southern GA grids as they are all pretty rare for us. 
 
Not sure what your route might be and what time you might get started so making a schedules now might be difficult to commit to. 
 
But I'm pretty sure you will hear our kilowatts on 50 and 144. If you work us there we could coordinate for the higher bands then. 
 
We plan to have everything up through 2304 for sure, higher Ghz a possible.  High power and big gain on 50, 144, 222, 432.
 
As far as I know, we do not have any 6 meter MS schedules set up as of yet.
 
If any of you other Four Landers have any comments for Steve,  here he is.........

I would like to rove -- I need to see how this week goes, but I have nothing planned for the weekend and it is unlikely I will find anything!  So I will rove, but where and on what bands I'm not certain.  I have 6, 2, 432, 902, 1296 & 3456 in the truck now and I should be able to get 2304 running no problem.  10 GHz is limping along and will not be working in all probability.  Are you going to do any 6m MS?
 
Which specific grids are you interested in? EM80/90?
 
73,
Steve, N5AC

Steve: 

I seem to remember you stating that you are in the process of relocating to Fla and wondered about VHF activity in the area you were going. 

Are you planning to rove from Fla during this upcoming contest ?   The Four Landers (W4NH) always operate Multi-Op from on top of Soco Bald (5500') in EM85 and we have a nice shot down into the "Valley" of Georgia and FL.

The grids in north FL and southern GA are always rare to us due to lack of contester population and just wondered if you had any plans to rove in those areas. If so, we sure would like to try some scheduling with you
