VHF Contest Rover Plans
Limited Rover Category: 6M/2M
This web page describes my Rover plans for the upcoming
VHF contest.
As I've stated on my rover page: I am a Single Op Rover. I drive
the car, monitor the GPS,
read the map, fiddle with the the radio, holler into the mic, and
paper-log QSOs all by myself. I do not attempt to do
this whilst underway. My modus operandi is to move to a Great Site
- operate - and then move to the next Great Site. I monitor while
driving and I will, if I can safely, pull over and make contact(s).
I ask that you spot me on the prop loggers when I am in
DM87 or DM88 -- not so much for my benefit, but
rather for those ops that need those grid squares filled in.
As always, events often overtake planning.
I will update this page prior to the contest as 'things' change.
Up to an hour or two before the contest these truly are my plans. Thereafter I am
ruled by Murphy's
Law.
