Hi to All,
 
Here's the first cut at putting out a list of my potential roving activities for the upcoming June VHF contest. I will be on, 6, 2, 222 FM only, 432 and 1296. I'm going to try and smoke test everything from the truck this Saturday, June 5th. If all goes well the plan is to hit the following Grid Squares.( Excel file attached too)
