We run 6 though 1296 with good power and yagis (KB6KQ loop on 6).  Our run 
frequency will be 144.170.  Other frequencies are 222.070, 432.070, 50.170 -- if 
possible, probably higher in openings. 903 and 1296 by appointment.

Our beams are fixed in the direction of travel and we operate run and gun.  
Look for the CQer on 144.170 and 50.170.  We will go to .200 to announce where 
we are and ask people to QSY to .170.

There look to be many well equipped rovers out this time in the upper Midwest 
-- it should be lots of fun!  73, Tim K0PG and Pat K9ILT "Rovairs 
Extraordinaires"
