Program:
"Operating as a Rover through numerous contests" by Andrea Slack, K2EZ

Andrea Slack, K2EZ has been licensed since 1980.  Her introduction to amateur radio occurred at age 15 when her father invited her to attend an introductory session of a novice license class the local Amateur Radio club was hosting.  She continued to attend with her father they both earned their licenses. For many years Andrea was primarily a CW op and she developed an early interest in experimenting with antennas.  She has also dabbled in wide ranging aspects of amateur radio including DXing, contesting, satellites, digital communications, traffic handling, RACES, VHF weak signal, FM and repeaters. Amateur radio has also been influential in Andrea’s choice of career and has opened many doors and opportunities throughout the years.  She currently works as an engineer doing mixed analog, digital and microprocessor controls. In recent years Andrea has discovered a passion for VHF roving and mobile ops.   She has four national first place VHF contest wins as a Rover.  Three as a limited rover and one in the more advance classic rover category.  She currently holds the record for the most number of grids activated in a VHF contest and has set half a dozen division score records.
