Thanks for the grid square correction Mike, and the increased DX path to 
lowfer SIW. It's about 23 miles sse from my home QTH, at the QTH of Bob, 
NK9M, who has graciously donated some of his real estate for the antenna.

I've been close to Perry Park on the way home from a 10 GHz outing to 
Presque Isle, PA some years ago. Think I worked Tony, WA8RJF from there. 
Of late I've just been roving the west side of Lake Michigan so unless 
there's a big thunderstorm to the east 10 GHz contacts won't go that far.

I fondly recall the Thanksgiving opening of 1986. Had just started 
working up the bands and had low power on 1296 MHz. Didn't matter, hi!
