    For Rovermania V I repeated my same route as last year. ... Read More

    Field Day 2008 was a renewal for Tri-County ARA. The event got young and old rubbing elbows, new hams digging in along side the old hands and participation was absolutely as desired. We can't wait for Field Day 2009.

    This was my first rove in a UHF contest. I was inspired by the NLRS Rovermania! and the desire expressed by someone on some list to hit 200 logs submitted in the UHF contest. My modest effort will count.
