Hi Sean...
I'm just getting started in VHF/UHF operating, and am leaning toward rover
operating around New England. I've tagged along with a few other ops for the
10GHz and Up contests and the VHF and Up contests. Had a blast, and given I
don't have a fixed set of VHF/UHF antennas here at home, roving seems like a
great way to get involved.
I think there are pockets of involvement, but those that do rover ops likely go
with the same group (or solo). I recently joined the North East Weak Signal,
and so far, they seem like a great group for VHF and up operating and building.
Not sure what part of MA you're in (I'll look it up), but I'm in the Central MA
area if you ever want to try to meet another interested rover.
