The Family Rover Team of KC0P/R & N0HZO/R did the St. Charles, MN grid corner (44N & 92W) on Saturday and Minneapolis for EN35 on Sunday. Best score ever in August UHF. Best DX was to K2DRH in EN41vr from Roseville, MN EN35ja 273 miles on 432 MHz SSB. Also worked Bob from EN44bc 185 mi, EN33xw 179 mi, & EN43aw 176 mi on 222, 432 SSB, & 1296 CW (10 watts). 2nd best DX was K0AWU EN37ed from EN34xa 229 mi on 222 & 432 SSB. Got N4PZ EN52gb from EN44bc 186 mi on 432 SSB, first time in our log. Worked Paul W0UC from all five grids we activated on 222, 432, 902 & 1296, clean sweep. AC0RA/R was also in the area Saturday and we worked Wyatt in 11 grid combinations on his Limited Rover four bands. What a hoot !

With 30 minutes left in the contest, we met up with four more Larsons to get six in the family (three generations) on the air. What a blast to work N0UK on 432 and W0ZQ on 222 & 432 SSB at the end. Keeping the log straight was a real challenge.

Working on having CW ready on 222, 902, and 2304 for September VHF 2015.
