06/22/2003 | K1DS/R & N1XKT/R June roving is a more casual pace for us, starting in FM28, FM18 and FM19 on Saturday. Didn't expect to do much on 6m, remaining focused instead on the higher bands. That was a troublesome strategy, as most of the rest of you were pounding the heck out of the Es on 6m. Traffic, lightning and thunder with a downpour kept us off the air for some prime time, and coupled with the 700+ miles covered over the weekend limited operating time. My son, N1XKT joined me for Sunday as we drove through FN20, 30, 21, 11 and 10. Excitement was our first 24GHz QSOs, in preparation for the August UHF. 73, Rick & Leon -- K1DS
