Sept VHF Contest

Rover Plans AA2SD/R 

Dear Fellow Club Members and friends

Thank you for working me from the 3 locations in the Poconos during this weekend. I set up at Camelback, Penn State in Hazleton PA  and also the 100 mile overlook located at Jim Thorpe. It was a challenge to keep ahead of the thunderstorms and weather conditions. I appreciate all of the help with the spotters as we worked within  the bands.
