Say it isn’t so! One of the most famous VHF rovers in history is being put up for sale, sans radio equipment inside, due to John’s other obligations.

“It is with mixed emotions that I must offer the Intergalactic Roving Battle Jitney for sale .. other obligations make it impossible for me to dedicate the time necessary to keep it ready to go. I’m going to keep the RF stuff for a future SO effort and offer the Jitney as an almost-ready-to-go rover as described below.”

In other news, I recently signed up for an interesting email reflector that I have enjoyed and therefore would like to share with others. After the recent trip to the Cayman Islands and working some satellites, in order to give others the chance for what would most likely be a new grid, I had occasion to make contact with Frank, K4FEG, who maintains a satellite mailing list to reach “Satellite Lovers & Grid Guerrillas.” After subscribing, I have found that the list has a high signal to noise ratio and the participants are friendly and have a great deal of enthusiasm for working new grids and satellites. You can find the sign-up page for the list here. If you want to get the word out about your satellite activities, or would like to get the low down on when some far away grid may be activated, then this ought to meet those needs quite well.
