[VHFcontesting] WB8BZK Rover Plans for January VHF Contest

[VHFRover@aol.com]

Being tempered by the snowy weather conditions this  weekend (and boy is it 
snowing at my home QTH right now!), WB8BZK/R will be  roving the January VHF 
contest starting out at Hillcrest Park (old Nike site) in EN53va Waukesha, WS 
just west  of Milwaukee.  I'll operate from there for about two hours at the 
start of the contest then  move a few miles east to Wick Field  Park to operate 
from EN63ab  until about 2300Z. 
I'll drive down to Nichol Knoll EN62ad in Arlington Hts,  IL where I will 
operate from about 0130Z for the rest of the  evening. 
Sunday morning I will set up at about 1400Z on a ridge  near Plato Center, IL 
which is just west of Elgin, IL.  I'll operate for two hours from EN52sa 
followed by another two hours from  EN51sx. 
I’ll pack up from EN51sx at about 1900Z and rove around  the Chicago  
4-Corners area for the rest of the contest. 
Bands will include 100W 50 (Loop), 125W 144 (Loop), 25W 223.5 FM (4 el & 
vertical), and 75W 432 (10  el & loop), 8W 903 (3 el or 6 el), & 135W 1296 (3 el 
or 21 el) SSB or  CW. I sure hope that the snow is not too deep and that I can 
put up the  portapol with the beams. I’ll also monitor 144.520 FM and 446.0 FM 
(vertical)  for extra contacts. 
Best of luck to everyone in the  contest, 
Mike  WB8BZK/R
