Hi Folks,
It's contest time again!  I'll be doing a limited Rove again this 
weekend.  I'm still recovering from surgery to repair a torn rotator 
cuff, and I'm doing well but not up to full speed yet.  So here is what 
I'm planning:

Saturday
18:00-21:00z  EM68wo  Salem, IN            900'ASL           
21:30-??:??z  EM78bp  Leota, IN          1000+'ASL
I'll be available for WSJT Saturday evening, from EM78cq.

Sunday
12:00-14:00z  EM69vd  Brown County state park  1000+'ASL
15:00-??:??z  EM79??  Somewhere south of Columbus, IN

I'll have 6, 2, & 432, with 100 watts and yagis for each band.  No 222 
this time out, I still haven't fixed my transverter.  I have some pretty 
good operating sites, and should have a pretty decent signal.  I'm only 
doing 4 grids, so I will likely spend a lot of time calling CQ near, and 
occasionally on, the call frequencies.  I'll also have a good signal and 
monitoring full time on 147.585 FM voice, no HamIM yet but I'm working 
on it.  Do you have a small or QRP station?  I love a challenge, don't 
hesitate to call me!  You say you only have FM?  No problem, I'll have 
6, 2, and 440 FM available and would love to work as  many FM stations 
as possible. I would like to make the most of this "small" Rover effort.

Have Fun!
Dan
