This was only our third dedicated roving effort...the second using the NC5AX/R callsign.

This was fun. I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool contester -- I don't really have the patience. But to have a chance to fire up my trusty EFJ Viking 1 (throttled back to 50W out) and Hallicrafters SX-111 and expect to make some QSOs with other oldtimers w... Read More

After 61 years on the air, I keep saying it's time to give up VHF contests--or at least give up roving. But I keep letting myself be persuaded to do "one more rove." Maybe it doesn't take much persuading...
