902, 432, 1296 EME Roving Spring Trip

Hello everyone.

Time to come out of hibernation.

I am planning to be QRV on 902EME and 432EME from April 22 until about May 6th.

And a few 23cm states to help some operators finish WAS.

I will leave Marshall's place in Texas on April 21st and head North.

The basic plan is to head North to North Dakota then turn right and go to Maine.

The goal is to activate all needed states without stations on these bands that are the furthest from Florida.

There are 15 days available.  I don't know if I have the energy or the weather to be on every day but will do as many days as possible.

Possible states include:

KS, MO, AR, SD, ND, MN, ME, VT, NH, RI, MA, DE, PA etc.

I can make shorter trips to fill in the lower Midwest and the Southeast.

At the beginning of the trip operations will start about 0300UTC and at the end about 1300UTC.

I will operate in most cases during times that will cover the western US.

The moon will not be very high during these times so this will be mostly a North America event.  Not the best time, but it is a time I have available.

Because I will be running 902 and 432 I may not be able to do multiple states in one day.  

I also plan to put IN on the air on 23cm.

I will operate on 432 in RI, however I will be running low power.  If you have a properly working 8 yagi station we should be able to work.   4 yagi stations probably not.
