Greetings all

First off, it was nice to meet many of you at the CSVHF conference.
Next, I am starting to make plans for the 10 Ghz contest.  As
it stands now, I will be working around the IL/WI area for the first
weekend.  The second weekend, I will most likely be working up/down
the Lake Michigan lakefront since quite a few of the MI stations
are roving on their side of the lake.  There are a few good hills
west of Chicago near Elgin that I have worked from which give me a
good view to the east and west.(EN52)  Up north near EN62, I can find
some elevation that has a good view of the east, south, and north.
Further north I can get some elevation that shows some possiblity
of making a shot towards the NLRS crowd.  Since I am still making
plans, I am pretty flexable as to where to rove.  What are the
other group or individual plans?  Possibly we can set up some
long haul skeds.  I plan to run half a watt on 10ghz to a 2ft 
dish and also might bring along 24ghz as well. (ssb/cw for both
- I will also bring 10ghz wbfm as well)
