I have an RF void between 1300 and 10ghz, but I'll get on 10hz at least for a
Q or two with everyone.

If there are a few people who want to spend a day on 10ghz, this would be a
good opportunity to do some on-the-air scouting of sites to the west.  There
have been discussions about sites to use for the 10ghz cumulative contest if a
group goes to Sisseton again this year.  One option is using sites along
highway 15 that have views to the west.  The scouting I've done so far was
along highway 15 from Highway 55 to Highway 212, looking for sites with views
to the west.  While I didn't find much up north by 55, I think some areas
(especially south of Hutchinson) would work to the east as well.  I'm willing
to go roving around that area if I have a couple of others to work - maybe
someone in the twin cities?  Traveling company would be nice, too!
