After lengthy discussion with some great veteran rovers such as
WA2IID, W1RT, W9FZ, and countless others, I have decided to make some
changes to my initial rover plans. Originally, I wanted to just keep
things really simple and run a single fixed length mast with a couple
loops and a single beam for 432.
However, I am now going to put together a telescoping mast which will
lower the ride height while being able to maximize the operating
height when destinated. I am also going to all beams except for a Par
Omni on 6. I'm still only starting out with three bands, 6 144 432,
however. I'll aim to add more for January. I'd really like to run 6
through 1.2 + 10 GHz eventually.
Ordering a 6' K1FO from DS tomorrow. :-)
