I will be local in the contest this Saturday. I am planning on starting out
in EN50rl on Saturday morning, probably around 8:30 or 9 am. I will mainly
have a northerly view from there, as there is corn in the field to the
west/south this year.
Then maybe move to EN50ue. This has mainly a northerly view also, with the
peak of a hill to the south on private property. I may forgo this stop.
Finally I want to go to EN50xf/EN60af. The EN50xf hill has mainly a
northerly/easterly view. W9SNR and W5LUA plan on being in EN51xr in the
afternoon, so hopefully we will make a couple QSO's. Then I want to move to
EN60af, which has a great view to the east, south and west but not to the
north. I hope to work a couple people near St. Louis from there.
I'll have 10 and 24 GHz with me. Not hopeful of 24 GHz but may as well have
it along.
This is all dependent on the weather; we have a 50% chance of rain
tomorrow. I hope it stays away from where I'll be.
My cell phone is 217-377-4911. I'll also have 144 MHz but not a lot of
power and only a little 4 el Yagi.
73, Zack W9SZ
