I have decided to journey to DM66 and set up the rover as a portable
station for the Spring Sprint. I will be on a 7500 ft mesa near
Lybrook NM. I have CW and 50 Watts to a 2 element beam. Southern
Colorado is easy from here, and the southern part of NM to El Paso is
also reachable with low, but reasonable SNRs. I worked W5DDR from here
at a distance of 300 + miles once. So look for me. I will have 50
Watts to a 2 element Yagi up 15 feet. I hope the band opens for some Es.
Thanks to everyone who worked me in the June Contest last year. A
plaque (my first ever) for a top ten finish in the limited rover
division arrived today. I couldn't have done it without contacts from
all of you, so thanks for helping me win the plaque. Can you tell that
I am excited?
Listen for me and keep those plans coming. - Duffey
