[VHFcontesting] K9KVN: Buffalo to FL

[Mark Adams, PE]

Hey Kevin,

Good luck on your big rove to FL and a few notes from K2QO/R here in 
WNY.  The 2M calling frequency for rovers is 144.260. Keep an ear hear 
to maximize your Qs. Once you work hear, change bands and do it again.  
Most action on 6 is between 50.125 and 50.200 barring an opening.  70cm 
action is centered around 432.100.  On the handeld, 223.5 FM is 
basically the only frequency used.

I'll assume that you are using horizontal antennas on 6, 2 and 432. 
223FM is OK on vertical polarization except for the drive through PA 
where the huge number of Packrats have elected to go horizontal on FM.

For all those still reading, the K2QO/R will be on nearly full time and 
all bands 6 through 10G and Light.

73,
Mark K2QO/R (+W2TAU)
