<p>Rovers at Dayton.</p>
<p> Starting a few years ago, the Dayton ARA, hosts for the
Hamvention, starting putting vhf/uhf/microwave rovers into the
"EmCOM" parking area. They have asked me to arrange for the
rovers this years. </p>
<p> Andrea Slack, K2EZ, is confirmed, along with the K8JH "Ham
Van". I would like a total of five vehicles. I would like one to
be a "Simple" rover, using a car or truck with the 50/144/430
omni's. The other two could be the 6-10 band microwave units
like Andrea's, a<span class="text_exposed_show">nd KF8QL's last
year. (He is not showing this year).</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<p> I have to point out the sad note that Mark Kerhlikar,
WD9HDF, who did an outstanding job with his red pickup truck
last year, will of course not be with us. </p>
<p> You would have to show up by Thursday around 4 pm at the
latest so we can stage you. On Friday and Saturday, you will
be able to leave the grounds, but it will have to be after 5
pm, and you will have to be back by 8:30 am at the latest the
next day. It does require you and/or your friends to staff the
vehicle during the Hamvention for at least Friday and
Saturday. But that is the fun part. <br>
</p>
<p>It works out well if you can ride to and from in a friends
car, but you are able to pull your rover in and out and Friday
and Saturday, if you do not have other transportation. <br>
</p>
<p> If you are interested, please contact me direct. Email is in
QRZ.</p>
<p> This is a great time for us to educate the Hamvention
population on roving and VHF/UHF/Microwave.</p>
