Hello VHFer's,
The K3LFO/R Rover team will be out running 50 Mhz through 3456 Mhz for
the June Contest. We are planning a medium rove starting on the eastern
shore of Maryland and ending up on Skyline Drive. Our route and
approximate times are listed below. We were going to leave out FM27
because we don't get much activity there and it's another 2 hour drive,
but we decided to give it *one more chance*. So PLEASE look our way
during the first ½ hour of the contest in FM27.
We've fixed the rover starter battery and taken care of a few other
service problems. The RF systems have been checked out and all is
working well. We even netted the transverters on frequency. It's not
perfect but within 1 or 2 Khz versus the 18 Khz off frequency we had on
3456.
Our run frequency on 2 meters will be *144.245*. If you call us and
don't hear us try back in a few minutes as we will be returning back to
this frequency often in between searching and pouncing.
I've noticed a number of stations asking about 223.5 FM We will be
happy to QSY up to FM and give it a try if you ask us to go there from
another band. That goes for 6m 2m and 70cm as well! We will be
horizontally polarized so be sure we will be within adequate range.

band conditions!/
