Hi-res

Notes:

First true rove in the new Rover vehicle! 3 grids, 3 states.
26 new grids on 6m! plus my first double-hop Es
Special Thanks to Fred, N1DPM, for getting my 1296 transverter on the air in time for the contest.
Special Thanks to Jack WA2IID/r for letting me share Equinox Mt. with him!
Thanks to Fred, N1DPM for band filters, most especially for 902MHz, that knock the QRM down to the point of making the band usable again.
Emergency power - generator / battery
Some rain, no major mishaps
Some fun with keying the 2m amp causing a AC line voltage drop before the genrator could throttle up, which would cause the UPS to quit for a presumed line fault, causing the logging computer to shut off, causing me to log by hand while trying to move multiple stations up through the microwave bands. Kind of busy/panicked/fun in the heat of "battle".
