[Fourlanders] Pack Roving

[Jim Worsham]

I agree.  Regular nets and activity nights generate a lot of interest and
activity.  There used to be both 6 and 2 meter nets in North Georgia.  I ran
the 6 meter net for several years and WB4JGG ran the 2 meter net.  What
happened?  Short answer, we got burned out.  I would consider restarting the
6 meter net next year except I am going to start looking at moving then and
will most likely take my tower and antennas down at some point.  I don't
want to start a net and then have to abandon it.

To get more folks interested in roving, a general increase in interest in
VHF/UHF and up in the North Ga area might help.  Weekly SSB nets on 6 and 2
M that beginners with  FT-857s and 706s could get involved with should
stimulate the higher bands also .  And before long folks would start
thinking about roving the area looking for high points to contest from.
Plus it could lead to more fixed stations to work also.  

 

If some of you guys with good 6 and 2 meter fixed setups will call the
net/nets, I will take the lead in promoting it/them.  Maybe at 8pm EST prior
to the 70cm net???   There is a 2 meter net out of central FL the big guns
could QSY over to or from during that time  also

None of us are the young pups we used to be and we aren't getting any
younger.  In a conversation with K5QE not long ago he said, "you guys need
to be thinking about what you are going to do when you can't haul all that
stuff to the mountain any longer".  Some good words of wisdom from Marshall.

Anyway, I thought you guys would be interested in N6NB and his minions.  No
matter what you think about the whole pack roving grid circling thing you
have to give the guy credit.  It is an impressive setup.  I just wish we
could get a group of guys going like that here in the SE.  They can grid
circle and pack rove all they want as long as they work us!
