> ARRL September QSO Party.

> As a Limited Rover in the contest I will be active on all four of the
> lower bands (SSB - ABCD, FM - BCD).  Given that this will be my first
> rove in the Southeastern US, I have decided to take a "Run and Gun"
> approach to this contest.  More information about my plans can be found
> on my website, http://www.k4amk.us. (See disclaimer below)
>
> Unfortunately, I am unable to estimate "times" for a schedule.  I can
> tell you that depending on activity level, we will be parked in each
> grid for a minimum of 20mins.  If we are working people, we will stay
> longer, but if we are listening to static then we will continue on our
> way to the next grid.  APRS is enabled for stations to track us to
> compensate for the lack of a more detailed schedule with approximate
> times.
>
> Obviously QRM may cause these to change slightly, but the game plan is
> to primarily operate on 50.135 and 144.210.  While idle, the other
> radios will be monitoring on 222.1 and 432.1 for SSB, and 146.55, 223.5,
> and 446.00 for FM.

> Saturday
>
> For Saturday, we will start in NE EM63 and make our way through
> Chattanooga, Knoxville, and ending the day in Bristol, TN where we will
> rest.  The grids we will activate:
> EM63/EM64/EM74/EM75/EM76/EM85/EM86/EM96
>
> Sunday
>
> For Sunday, we will start at 6am in EM96 and head over to Wytheville, VA
> where we will turn and head south.  We will be making our way over to
> Greensboro, NC and then turning to go to Charlotte, NC.  From there
> south to Columbia, SC and then west toward Atlanta.  The goal is to end
> the contest just outside of Atlanta in EM73.  The grids we will
> activate:  EM96/FM06/FM05/EM95/EM94/EM93/EM83/EM73
>
> Total Grid effort planned:  15
