[MAMS] 10 GHz contest

Tue Aug 15 17:47:17 EDT 2017

Zack,

If you'd like to take Hwy 51 off of I-72 in Decatur, head south to Pana and
then take IL 16 to I-55, Ohlmann cemetery EM59ji  is only about 4 miles
down the road.  I could meet you there and Herbert could work you from
there.  I could also go to Herbert's spot and work you from there.  From
there you could go to Herbert's spot and I will be in Dow, EM49ua and I
could work you from there.  We could "leap frog" over each other.   Just a
few thoughts...

Here's a question, if you met me at Ohlman cemetery could I work you from
there as well?  You'd meet the 10 mile rule, but I'd still be at the same
spot.  Likewise, if I went to Herbert's spot in EM58, I'd have moved over
10 miles, but could we work each other for points?

Thanks Zack,

Ron, KO0Z
