This page is devoted
to the 6M KW Rover station owned by Pat - WX7M and operated by Tim - K7XC during the Summer of 2011.
This is a peek into what makes the vehicle
tick...
This project first began 2 years ago as a chat between Pat and myself over activating
some rare grids in the west for the FFMA award. The idea slowly evolved over time as we discussed the many details that would
need to be addressed to make such a vehicle a reality. In the following pages you will see what came of our discussions and
hopefully in the near future put many of you in the log from one grid or another.

Care was taken to make sure this is very road worthy.
All fasteners throughout the construction use either "Nylock" nuts, Safety Wire, or both, to ensure it stays together on the
long rough road ahead. Pat is a excellent engineer and did most of the work by himself. I helped out during the initial planning
and design as well as the final integration and testing phase.
