Well, thanks to Dennis, N2LBT, I have the equipment for all bands between 903MHz and 5GHz in the car now. This also includes the 4ft satellite dish and paddle feeds for conveying said frequencies. What is this all for you ask? Well, I’m a ham! Further, I am a microwave contester with MGEF (Mt. Greylock Expeditionary Force) also known as W2SZ/1 and I am a rover. This means that I drive very long distances to setup the equipment (almost always in remote locations) and operate on the various allocated microwave bands.

I’ll fill everyone in on what it entails, where I am going, and what goes on the car to do it. In the mean time, you can visit this page on my gallery and see what I went roving in for the June VHF contest. I filled in for KB1EKZ after an injured knee left him unable to operate from the back of the truck. Steve, KB1ITX and I started in Maine and worked our way into Massachusetts, ending up on Mt. Wachusett for the end of the contest.

Stay tuned for further progress reports on the car, only here at carlfacer.com!
