ARRL VHF Contest September 2003
 
Pictures of various rover configurations before and during the September 2003 ARRL VHF Contest.   Covered CO50, CO60, CO70, CN69, CN78, and CN79.   No contacts made in CO50 or CN69.   This trip was over 1300 miles and over 150 miles over gravel logging roads and old overgrown roads.  I ended running behind schedule and was not able to reach CN89 or CN88 before the contest ended.
 

 

The antenna setup just before departure, 903 still on, later removed.
