09/27/2007 | KC0IYT/R I roved through six grids with ten bands for this contest. My early plans were to activate eight grids, but every rover in the area planned to go through the EN34 south-east grid corner, so I decided to take it easy and skip the last two grids. As usual, I didn't work the grids I traveled to on many (if any) bands.

The 2M beam on the car was rotatable (with ropes) and the others were fixed.

I stayed away from the QRM-fest on the calling frequencies on 50/144/432mhz when in most of the grids, but still managed to keep busy most of the time.

Conditions at the start of the contest allowed for sidband contacts into the twin cities on the bands above 900mhz. However, an hour later a front had passed through and I had to struggle on CW for the same path. Conditions got a little better Sunday afternoon.

One of my goals this summer was to complete a CSVHFS Reverse VUCC on 5.7ghz.
I was able to accomplish that during this contest, working N0KP from six
grids. Those QSOs were all tropo, but one of them was assited by, we belive,
airplane scatter. -- KC0IYT
