03/01/2005 | WW1M/R My first time out as a solo rover. Great fun! Mostly excellent wx and passable VHF condx, although there were no openings to speak of. Drove 690 miles, activated 8 grids, and managed 100 Qs in the vast VHF wasteland of Colorado on the bottom 4 bands. Thanks to all those who followed my progress. The KB6KQ loops played well. I'll be back with more bands etc. -- WW1M
