2022 Summer Roving Trip Update - May 5, 2022


My plans for the trip have changed again.  
I do not plan activations before the week of May 25 - 28.

I will not be driving to the Eastern US in Early May.
I will attend the Dayton Hamvention in Ohio from May 19 - May 22
The update plan is to leave from Florida around May 25 heading West toward Texas.  I plan to do activations on multiple bands in MS and AL on the way to TX.
During the first week of TX I also plan to activate in LA.
After the June VHF contest on June 11/12 I plan to head West to New Mexico for grid activations in NM and West Texas.
Next I plan to go to the "Four Corners" area for AZ, CO, UT activation.
After this stop I plan to go North through CO to WY, and MT.  Then East through ND/SD to attend the Central States VHF meeting on July 20 - 24.
I should be able to post a more detailed plan on or about May 17th.

I am still planning to cover the full collection of States.

  KA6U Update - May 3, 2023 -  0300UTC Today I drove from the Rocky Mountains above Denver CO to Iowa east of Nebraska City, NE.  700 miles 11 hours. It was very windy and I almost did not try to set up 23cm dish.  The wind calmed down, I set up the dish but the PTT isolation box from the radio broke so no 23cm from Iowa.  AC0RA has a station identical to mine and he lives in Iowa for 23cm. 15 difficult 70cm QSOs today with many polarity changes.  Focus for today was to help UT6UG get to 49 states on 70cm and W2HRO to 46 states.  That was successful.  Hopefully both will complete WAS on 70cm before I return to Florida in 3 weeks. LoTW certificate issue I will figure out tomorrow. Operation plan for this week subject to change: Kansas/Nebraska - May 4 (UTC) - 0100-0300UTC - EM19, EN10 - I visited this location last week and activated on 23cm and 70cm.  I will do a short operation on 222 first starting at 0130UTC.  I will not do 70cm.  I plan to also operate 23cm.  The site is a 1 hour d
