[SECC] GQP Rover Discussion

[ku8e at bellsouth.net]

    It would be nice to see the SECC make a effort this year  to get a bunch of rovers
   on the road and try to activate all the GA counties.  I think I can probably speak for John
   and myself that we could disqualify ourself from winning the rover plaque to give a
   newcomer team a chance to win that category.

     It is very easy to setup a mobile station. We just use my old Kenwood TS850S and some
   Hustler mobile whips. I think you can find Hamsticks (or a clone) at HRO for maybe $30
   a piece. You will be amazed at the pileups you get when changing counties. It is like you
   are a rare DX station. What a rush !!! John and I made 1800 QSO's the first year we went
   out. Just amazing using an antenna that wasn't even 10 ft tall !!!  Give it a try.
