[MAMS] 10 GHz from Chicago Area

[Zack Widup]

OK thanks Jim. I think I am going to head south on Saturday to try to
work people near St. Louis from a few locations south of home. Then on
Sunday I'll try to be ready in EN50rl around 7 am. Hopefully 10 GHz is
no problem and if things look good, maybe we can give 24 GHz a go.

I can maybe wait till you get to EN51xr and work you from EN50rl, then
drive to EN50wl or EN50xh. I think it will take about an hour from
EN50rl to EN50wl. I am hoping we can work between those grids on 10
GHz at least. I may drive farther north, maybe near the four-grid
corner west of Chebanse. I guess it depends on how much time you will
spend in EN51xr.

Hopefully W9ZIH and K3SIW are also on.

73, Zack W9SZ
