[VHFcontesting] rover power

[Dan Evans]

Hi Rick!

I thought they had gone out of business, but by the website, they still 
seem to be around.   This would be a good alternative to the accuvolt.  
Although it may not carry enough current for the bigger amps, it should 
be fine to power a 100 watt rig.  For the time being, I am "amp-less" 
anyway, hi hi:-)

I found the "do it yourself" article on the ARRL's TIS pages.

www.arrl.org/members-only/tis/info/pdf/0411037.pdf

This is in the members only section, however.


I'm still trying to work out some details before next week's contest.  I 
have the computer issues fixed, I believe.  I wanted to pick up a head 
set for my FT897, but it looks like I will be stuck with the hand mic 
again.  And it will be January, at best, before I can add amps to 2 and 432.

Slowly building back up,

Good luck all,

73
Dan
