 You can update my intentions to 222, 432, 902, 1296, 2304, 10368.  The
 latter two still aren't on the air yet, but if they arent't ready by
 August, I plan to quit the hobby entirely!  :)

 Extremely tentative plans:
    1 hour in each corner of the EN13/14/23/24 grid intersection..... 4 hr
    2 hours to drive north 2 grids................................... 2 hr
    1 hour in each corner of the EN15/16/25/26 grid intersection..... 4 hr
    3 hours to drive east 2 grids.................................... 3 hr
    1 hour in each corner of the EN35/36/45/46 grid intersection..... 4 hr
    2 hours to drive south 2 grids................................... 2 hr
    1 hour in each corner of the EN33/34/43/44 grid intersection..... 4 hr
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
    16 grids activated, 23 hours accounted for, 1 hour for "slop"


Wow, great plans John.    This is certainly pretty ambitious !    The 10
GHz stuff can take some time, especially when operating in the
stop-and-shoot mode, so you may be underestimating your time needs in each
grid ..... just a thought.     I still don't know if I'll have 902 along
.... I'll have to see what I can do about that, otherwise we should be able
to work each other on all your bands.

Besides John and myself, any other preliminary plans lurking out there for
rover mania ?   Its gonna be a hoot.   Plans can be as simple as grabbing
your IC706 and heading to the closest grid corner .... remember that the
UHF contest is just 24 hrs long.   For those 10 GHzers in the Twin Cities,
EN34 and EN35 are of course very doable.   I've also worked GHZ from EN24
and EN25.
