[VHFcontesting] KK6MC/r in UHF contest

[James Duffey]

I had a great time in the UHF contest, despite a modest score. I roved  
to 9 grids, made 24 contacts in 3 different grids. I am happy with  
this given the usual low level of activity in the UHF contest in NM.

I only operated 432 MHz, which contributed to the low score. Yes, I  
will add 220 MHz before the next contest. I managed to operate from  
DM72, a NM grid I have not previously visited. I am trying to operate  
from all 22 NM grids and now only have one left. Then I will need a  
new long term VHF/UHF contesting goal.

I was inspired in part to operate in the UHF contest by the Northern  
Lights Radio Society Rovermania! activity designed to get a lot of  
rovers out for the UHF contest. Thanks guys for the inspiration.

I have posted more details of the rove and a few pictures to the ARRL  
Soapbox if you are interested.
