I will be out for the 432 MHz Spring Spring on Wednesday evening. Look  
for me

Here is my rover schedule for the 432.1 MHz Spring Sprint April 22,  
2009. This should look familiar by now. I will change the route in the  
fall. :^)=
I will go to the Moriarty Convergence. Here is my schedule:

DM74    1900 Start on 432.1 MHz
         1915 QSY to 432.110 point South and call. I will call the  
first 30 seconds of the minute, call me the second 30 seconds.
         1930 Stay on 432.110 MHz, point North and call. I will call  
the first 30 seconds of the minute, call me the second 30 seconds.
         1940 drop antenna, replace with mobile antenna and operate  
while moving to

DM75    2000 check into Albuquerque Area activity net on 432.1 MHz and  
work participants.
         2015 QSY to 432.110, point South and call. I will call the  
first 30 seconds of the minute, call me the second 30 seconds.
         2030 Stay on 432.110 MHz, point North and call. I will call  
the first 30 seconds of the minute, call me the second 30  
seconds.         	Does the RMMVHF net point south and call on this  
schedule? If not, can you give it a try?
         2040 drop antenna, replace with mobile antenna and operate  
while moving to	

DM64    2055 Check for general activity on 432.1
         2115 QSY to 432.110, point South and call. I will call the  
first 30 seconds of the minute, call me the second 30 seconds.
         2130 Stay on 222.110 MHz, point North and call. I will call  
the first 30 seconds of the minute, call me the second 30 seconds.
         2140 drop antenna, replace with mobile antenna and operate  
while moving tthrouh

DM65    2210 Arrive at home, calling while mobile stay on 222.1 MHz
         2230 QRT, unless there is a lot of activity. There usually  
isn't a lot of activity.

With the 50 Watt output restrictions here, paths are more difficult. I  
show a 3 to 6 dB positive SNR to El Paso and Las Cruces, while the  
paths into the front range of CO are all negative. I will have CW this  
time around, so we may be able to make these difficult paths. I will  
have 50 Watts out to a 11 element Yagi up 15 feet.

Let me know if you will be on. - Duffey
