It has been pointed out to me that I need to be a bit more specific about times for my rover route.  This is difficult because a few of the stops are going to be very brief and two of the stops will be for as long as I am still getting contacts.  Below is a schedule with approximate times for several of the stops.  Be sure and swing your beam around during these times.  

Also, I don't have a specific listening frequency.  Based on my experience in January, I found that I spent too much time following people around to other bands and rarely made it back to the home frequency.  I also botched a few skeds in January and will not let that happen again.  If you want to set up a sked for FM08, FM16, FM27, FM29 or FM18, my schedule is solid enough for those grids.

Saturday (all times Eastern)

FM08us Hogback Overlook - 2:00 PM until at least 5:00 but could be much later
FM07vx truck stop in Louisa county - Probably around 8:00 PM but not certain
FM17 en route to a hotel around Williamsburg VA

Sunday

FM16ww CBBT Island 1 - noon to 1:00
FM27ac North end of CBBT - 1:30 to 4:00 or when contacts stop
FM28fa MD Eastern Shore - not sure, probably 5:00 PM... depends on time at FM27
FM29ac  MD Route 301 7:00 PM to 8:30ish
FM18iq home 10:00 to 11:00 PM
