This was the challenge of the 2019 New Jersey QSO Party\nlast September. In years prior, the contest was held over a weekend. The SJRA would operate\nas a rover station from the nine southern NJ counties over two days. This year was a bit more\nchallenging in that we had to find a way to operate from nine counties in twelve hours. This\nincluded travel, setup, operation, and takedown. Somehow, we managed to do it with over 100\ncontacts. Our efforts paid off, as the SJRA was awarded 1st place in the Rover category. While\noperating as a Rover is fun, as social media says it, \u201cThe struggle was real.\u201d. Between having to\nrelocate, noisy conditions, and the four hours of driving, we actually did it.\nOur adventure began before the contest started. Ken K2WB had devised a precisely\ntimed schedule for us to follow. It had our operating times and driving time down to the minute.\nWithout it, none of this would\u2019ve been possible. He also had our secret weapon- a custom made\n40m vertical antenna. If you know Ken, you know his designs are both technical and practical,\nmaking the antenna\u2019s deployment faster than unrolling 50ft of coax. The rest of our equipment\nconsisted of a Yaesu FT-991, a 35A switching power supply, a portable 800w generator, a Heil\nProset, and a Windows 10 laptop running N1MM.\nOur first county was Cumberland county. We were in an area that had a lot of room to\nexperiment with the antenna setup and to determine all the tactical nuances that we\u2019d need to\nmaster throughout our day. We arrived at 10:00, two hours before the start of the contest. Once\nthe contest started, we were on the air! After 40 minutes of operation we packed everything up\nand moved to our next location. Our next stop was Cape May County. This location was a picnic\narea between the Northbound and Southbound Garden State Parkway. We found a nice table to\nsetup on and operated for around 40 minutes again. Before we left, we saw a tree that caught\nour attention. It was \u201cThe Famous Shoemaker Holly Tree\u201d, as the sign said. The tree was over\n300 years old! Our next stop was Atlantic County. Here, there was a rest stop and a large\nparking lot. We operated out of the truck and setup the antenna on a small island.\nNext, we were off to Ocean County&#8230;\n\n<em>For the full article, please see the March edition of&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Harmonics.<\/span><\/em>\n\n&nbsp;\n\nAuthor: Holden Correia-Fisher, KD2JPV\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September 2019, the SJRA participated in the New Jersey QSO party.
