[VHFcontesting] NF2RS/R QRV in September VHF Contest

[k2qo at mac.com]

So what do you do after attaining the #1 USA/CAN Limited Rover for 6 years running? You go for lucky number 7.

K2QO and K2ZR are going out again piloting the club call of Niagara Frontier Radiosport. Not surprisingly, our route will be virtually identical to last year.

Here is the proposed operating schedule: All times Eastern as they say on the MLB XM channel.

Saturday
2:00pm – 6:00pm         FN31jw
7:40pm – 9:00pm         FN32db
9:00pm – 11:00pm       FN32/22 Mobile. There is a **tiny** chance we may try a late evening spot in FN32.

Sunday
7:15am – 9:00am         FN22rr
10:00am- 12:00pm FN23nd
2:30pm – 4:30pm         FN12/13 on the NYS Thruway
4:30pm – 6:00pm         FN12au
7:30pm –11:00pm        FN02vu

You’ll have no trouble finding us as we call CQ like madmen on CW with omni antennas, Yagi's and good power on 6 and 2.

SPECIAL NOTE: Our 2M station is an IC-746, so please avoid calling us crossmode. We ALMOST fixed this but my Raspberry Pi running RoverLog that has a setting to alleviate this issue but it won't interface with the K3. I'm sure this is fixable, but not before 2PM on Saturday :-( We run 50/50 CW/SSB so you WILL work us.

We’ll be posting our location and run frequencies using the the Rover Status app so you’ll find us on APRS.fi. I need work on ON4KST.

Lastly, feel free to text me at 716.525.0076 with your grid or other contest legal info that will help us make a QSO. Also, if you only have 2 FM, text me if you see we are close enough and we'll go to 146.55 or 146.52.

See you all at 2pm this Saturday es 73,

Mark Adams, K2QO (rear seat 6/222/432, 2FM op)
Dick Stein, K2ZR (front seat 2M op)
