[NLRS] Quick AWU/PHD "results"

[Bill K0AWU]

Hello All

 Thanks to all that took the time and scheduled us into their busy runs.
Sorry for the limited attempt with the "Rover pack/s" (FZ and I Sunday 
am for a few min) 

  Wally and I activated 8 subgrids on Saturday working 34 contacts 
each, all but 4 were CW. Everyone at Sisseton did fine with the CW, 
neither Wally or I wanted to loose a contact and thank those that were 
uneasy with their CW, for taking the time and effort to work us.

 Sunday I activated 7 subgrids (Wally was with me for the first location 
only.) Finished the weekend with SSB contacts with everyone at 
Sisseton from EN17qn, EN17qj and EN17qf.... Signals 5-7 SSB easy 
....

  Some FANTASTIC valley locations south of Crookston, MN off 
Hiway 75 ... wow... Mark GPS drive for the "Goto to say" 11 miles 
work a bunch,Mark and repeat. Wheat fields were great to shoot over 
this time of the year. (I used 11 miles to ease "fine tuning of 
locations).

  Best DX  N0KP, N0UK, K0SHF, WB0VHF, KC0IYT, KD0JI via 5-2-9 
CW  ..... EN18hg - EN15kp  292km on Saturday, SUPER!

  I (Bill K0AWU) had 69 contacts in my initial (non-rover  :>)) ) 10Ghz 
weekend. Drove 622 miles too, the old pickup did fine. 2m SSB liaison 
worked GREAT to Sisseton, Devils Lake and good to poor for 
Winnipeg.  Thanks to Dennis NT0V for the relays to Barry. Thanks 
Dave N0KP for your help and encouragement. Thank You All .... lots 
of fun!  Wally had a BLAST too !!!

  Sorry I "needed" to quit at 2:06pm Sunday .... I have trouble staying 
awake while driving alone and wanted to get home before it was too 
late. Hard to drive away from all those great signals.

  A full report later in the week I would guess ........ 

Bill K0AWU (and Wally W0PHD)
