Winter Field Day Rover Test

Winter Field Day Roving on VHF+ Bands

This year we added a new activity,  VHF+ Winter Field Day Roving.  This involved mobile operators contacting Winter Field Day stations from outside of any Winter Field Day station.

We were able to make contacts on all of the above bands using Phone, Digital, and CW.  Many of the contacts were our first on the bands.

We used transceivers for Winter Field Day Roving to operate on the following VHF bands: 2m, 1.25m, 70cm, 33cm and 23cm.  We used a laptop running Fldigi to add Digital and CW modes to Phone mode.

Thanks to Randall, N1KRB and Miguel, KC1LKO for operating as Rovers for Winter Field Day.
