For the past several contests, I've been part of a multi-op roving
effort under the callsign K1SIG/R.  This August, I'll be out on my own
and probably using my own callsign, KG6CIH/R.  It's a mouth full.

I was planning on keeping this a pretty low key effort, probably two
grids on Saturday, staying at my house overnight, and then heading out
for two more grids on Sunday.  My rough plan is something like:

* FN42bu - Pack Monadnock
* FN32ou - Hogback, VT 9
* sleep
* FN33sk - Ascutney
* FN43bj - Kearsarge

Or something like that.  I know Pack Monadnock and Ascutney have RFI
problems, but I was hoping maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal on these
bands.

I would be very interested in knowing what other New England rovers
might be doing, or what would be most useful to big local fixed
stations.  I am more than happy to adjust my plans if it means helping
people out and making more contacts.

Personally, I've only got 222 and 432 but I will have beams for both of
those.  I might be able to borrow microwave gear.  If anyone locally
wants to loan me anything, I'll be happy to make extra efforts to get
you from all those grids.
