I'm getting a little older. Even if it's all right for a QRP Portable to
move 200 meters within its original 500 meter circle to enter a new grid
square, I don't think I have the energy. With my current station it takes
just about all I got just to set up a ten band station at one exact
location on a hilltop. That's why I don't rove unless it's just a couple
bands or a microwave-only contest.
73, Zack W9SZ
