"Novice Rover"
Enclosed is an image of my "RAV4ROVIN" platform used for the June 20008 VHF Contest. As this was my first Rover operation, I wanted to check the feasibility of working from near a grid corner that's close to my home QTH. The antenna co... Read More -

It was a blast this year!
Even if Murphy's Law struck twice! Last year I was moving from Mississippi to Texas during the Contest, this year I drove back to Mississippi to take my youngest daughter to Bug Camp (www.bugcamp.org) in NE MS!
