The ARRL January VHF+ Sweeps is next weekend. I'll be participating in the new Limited Rover class and would like to let everybody know my drive and operating schedule.
I'm starting at Hogback Mountain on Skyline Drive in Virginia. I'll then drive to Virginia Beach
by way of Charlottesville. Saturday night will find me on the beach in FM26.
Sunday will be in 3 grids on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel until late
afternoon. I'll then drive North through the Delmarva and catch a rest stop on
Rte 301 in FM29 and then circle back home to Woodbridge in Northern VA. I'll open 10 grids on
this route.
Saturday
2:00-5:00 FM08us
5:00-10:00 en route through FM08, FM07, FM17, FM16 and FM26

I have 6 meters, 2 meters and 70 cm SSB and will have an HT for FM work on 1.25 meters. My calling frequencies will be as close to the following as QRM will allow.

Also, if anybody in Northern VA wants to ride along to log and operate, contact me ASAP. I need a co-pilot. If you will be roving in any of these areas, let me know and we can meet up for an eyeball QSO.
