Obviously it's a\nMicrosoft Excel file, so you'll need that to view it. Feel free to look\nthru the spreadsheet for your callsign, and if anything doesn't look right\nplease email me direct and we'll get it sorted.\n\nLOTW QSLs: On the QSL front, from the master spreadsheet I have generated\nadif files for each type and style of contact, and those files have been\nuploaded to LOTW. We have matches across all bands, all modes, using both\ncalls and multiple dates. That said 24 different ADIF files, and 24\ndifferent station locations had to be generated to cover all the different\ngrids and calls, so it's possible something got screwed up along the way.\nIf you dont have a match in LOTW, but see your QSO in the master\nspreadsheet, make absolutely sure you're looking in the LOTW web interface\nand not the output of a logging program. We have found that a few pieces of\nlogging software (N3FJP in particular) are not handling the LOTW XML output\nwhen 2 grids have been uploaded with our station location. If you've double\nchecked in the LOTW web interface and still don't have a match, email me\nand we'll get it sorted.\n\nPaper QSLs: The cards arrived from the printers last Friday, and I spent\nthe weekend getting labels put on everything. Everyone who sent a card and\nSASE, and everyone who made a donation should (as of this morning) have a\ncard on the way to them. I expect most folks in the US should have it\nwithin a week, and folks overseas within 3 weeks. I've still got plenty of\ncards left, so if you'd like a paper QSL feel free to send your card and a\nSASE, or email me and we can work something out regarding postage. Folks\nwho worked us on EME from places far off the US Mail beaten path\nespecially, if you'd like a card please email me and I'll arrange to get\none to you somehow.\n\nStats: Total across all bands and modes, 950 QSOs were logged on the rove.\n730 QSOs were made on 6m Terrestrial, 122 on 2m EME, 63 on 2m Terrestrial,\nand 52 on AMSAT. On 6m specifically 309 contacts were made using FT8, 226\non SSB, and 195 using MSK144. All EME contacts were made on JT65. On 2m\nTerrestrial 39 on MSK144, 21 on SSB, and 3 on FT8. 873 Total QSOs were made\nacross all bands and modes while fixed at the camps, and 77 Total QSOs were\nmade while truly operating mobile driving down the road. We worked 477\nUnique Callsigns total, 405 uniques on 6m, and 55 uniques on EME. For\nVUCC/FFMA purposes, we activated 25 total grids, including 6 of the top 10\nmost wanted FFMA grids. For WAS purposes we activated 5 total states. For\nthe June VHF Contest operating as W7D/R we turned in a score of 46,368 as a\nHigh-Power Rover (operating from DN20 and DN10 for contest purposes) and\nincluded 320 QSOs on 6, and 2 on 2m. Our total fuel bill (for both the\ntruck and generator) was $1064.40 and we ended up spending $413.25 on Food,\nIce, and Water.\n\nThe final Wrap Up: I'll be writing a proper story about the rove in the\ncoming months - my day job has kept me busy since I've gotten back though,\nand that takes priority over writing for now. When the story is done I'll\nbe sure to share it with everyone. I've also got piles of pictures, videos,\nand files full of data I plan to fully use and share because I find it\ninteresting.\n\nWhat's Next: That's the question everyone keeps asking. And honestly, it\nreally depends. Wyatt and I have some ideas floating around, but there's a\nbunch of logistics and/or paperwork required to pull them off. For now, if\nyou've got some awesome idea for next e-skip season, feel free to get in\ntouch with us and float it.. never know when something will stick to the\nwall.\n\nLast but not least: We have to send out a massive heartfelt thanks to folks\nwho pitched in to help us with the expenses. Whether you donated $5 or\n$500, every single penny went towards Fuel, Food, Fees, and a few repairs\nto the rover and some equipment. We said from the very beginning we were\ndoing this rove because we wanted to, even if no one pitched in. The fact\nthat so many of you had faith in us to get out there and put those grids on\nthe air was a huge boost to our morale during some tough hours when we were\nsecond guessing ourselves. It also has given us a lot more courage to try\nand keep pushing the envelope in the world of VHF Roving and rare grid\nexpeditions, when you know the community has got your back. From the bottom\nof our hearts, we say to you all, thank you.\n\n73!\n\nDave, KG5CCI\nCC: Wyatt, AC0RA\n", "attachments": [] }
