A couple of weeks back I went to a local hamfest here in southwest Missouri. Eventually I picked up a 2-meter linear amplifier. I also did participate in the 2m VHF contest back in September of 2017 and I enjoyed the contest very much and wanted to up my power from 10 watts to 80 watts. My ICOM 706 is an older model that does 2m-160m. 100w on HF and only 10w on VHF.
I guess you could say I have caught the “roving” bug! Also I am looking forward to the VHF contest January 20th with my 2-meter amplifier to try and do some roving with my Jeep Wrangler. I am still working out the logistics on how I am going to make that work.
No matter what you do in amateur radio just remember it is a hobby but it is the greatest hobby in the world… 73 and have fun!
