[NLRS] Only 14 weeks until the June Contest

[ADUHAWK@aol.com]

An FYI from K0PG and K9ILT the "rovairs extraordinaires."  We're thinking about going to the U.P. for the June contest.  I counted the grids up there and it looks like there are 11!

We will be running the bottom 6 bands. Among the possible enhancements are: adding a second tripod in order to go with stacked antennas for 903 and 1296.  Getting the 6 meter antenna a bit higher (likely to be 12 feet high -- up from 9)adding some suds on 1296 (65 watts up from 10) and doing WSJT.

We should be able to add all of the above over the next year, but it would be nice to have it all by June.  I know that we might be short changing ourselves on E skip a bit by going that far north, but I bet those grids would be popular on the higher bands.

Nothing is written in stone yet, but this is how we're leaning.

Observations, comments or other great thoughts are welcome.
