[VHFcontesting] VE3OIL January Rove

[russell beech]

   - Good evening all   
I am planning to take the bottom ten bands out for a rove again this weekend.  I have spent some time with the DC distribution system and have at least partially addressed the power issues I had in September.  I also found the failed MIC wire in the 222 IF.   
The bottom four bands are reliable 100 W performers, 903 and 1296 contenders at 10w with stable but more QRP systems after that.  I have been testing the White box off and on for a few days, including having it cold soak on the balcony.  The PLL is currently well behaved.   
I will have FM capability on all bands.  I will monitor 146.55 as much as possible and support 52.525, 223.5 and 446 when requested.   
I accept skeds, please contact me on ve3oil at yahoo.ca and I will return a list of suggestions.  I will also send an 'I am on the air' text if requested.  I can be texted during the contest on 289 775 9203.  I will attempt to post to ON4KST.   
Skeds and calling on 144.237.   
My plan includes a reasonable amount of time for transits but there is an increased risk that delays will result if the predicted weather shows up.  Two of my preferred sites are already known to be closed and snow may affect others.  I have alternates available.
