[NLRS] W0AMT/R September contest plan

[Jonathan Fox]

Sounds like it will be a fun September contest.  I will be operating
as a rover again.  I have 6, 2, 222, 432 + 1296 on the rover mobile.
I have beams for all bands except for 6 which is a KB6KQ loop.  I am
configured as no-setup. I will be on  50.140, 144.240, 222.140 and
432.140.  This is my first time with 1296, I will monitor 1296.100 and
QSY from there.

I am going to start the contest (1800z) in EN26,  Browerville, MN,  I
will depart at 1900z and travel south on Highway 71 towards Willmar
and Olivia. I will be in the Willmar area (EN25lc) around 2100z and
Olivia (EN24ms) about 2230z.

I will depart Olivia at 2300z traveling east on US-212 to I-494, I
will pass into EN34 about 2330 and should arrive at home (EN34mw)
about 0130z.

I will depart from home at 1200z.  I will be traveling north on I-35 I
will be in EN35 from 1210z to 1325z. I will arrive in Hinckley, MN
(EN36ma) at 1330z.  I will depart Hinckley at 1430z and should arrive
in Minong, WI (EN46cd) around 1540z.  I will depart Minong at 1630z
headed south on US-53. I will be traveling through EN45 from 1650z
till 1800z. I will arrive in Elk Mound, WI at Elk Mound Hill. (EN44dv)
around 1830z.  I will stay on Elk Mound Hill till 1930z then travel
west I-94 through EN44 and EN34 back home.

I should get home around 2100z.  After some refueling and refreshment
I will depart again around 2300z and drive to Owatonna, MN EN33 which
will give me 10 grids activated and a very busy weekend.

I have given myself lots of cushion on the travel times between grids
so I will be at the stated locations by the stated times.  The only
variable will be that I may leave a location early if there is no
activity.

Good Luck to everyone and safe driving to all the rovers.
