[NLRS] Where is the picnic?

[Donn Baker]

Hi Scott,
Glad to hear you're going to make it over.  It'll be nice to meet you!

The location is Indian Mounds Park, in St. Paul.  From I-94 westbound take
the "Mounds Blvd" exit.  Its exit 243.  It may also be labeled "Kellogg Blvd."

At the end of the exit ramp, turn LEFT (SOUTH) and cross I-94.  You'll be
on Mounds Blvd.  As you cross I-94, Mounds Blvd bears right.  (The left
fork will put you back onto I-94 eastbound... be careful.)  

Mounds Blvd continues along the (Mississippi River) bluff to the right with
houses on the left.  There is a parking lot, etc., right after the "bear
right" turn... DON'T stop there: its about 1/2 mi to where we will be set
up.  If you up the hill, you've gone too far !  Lunch (picnic) will be up
on top of the hill in the shade.

Things start at 1000, with lunch maybe 12 to 12:30 or so.

Weather permitting, of course.  Rain will be a problem, but heat alone may
be OK.  I guess it depends on HOW hot.

See you on Saturday !  Questions, etc., drop me a line.

PS SOMEBODY should have 146.46 on when you get close. The 3M repeater might
also be usable, but I don't know the frequency... anyone ?

PSS What connector dfo you have on your feed horn ?  WR90? SMA? N?  I can
handle all of those.  Anything else, let me know before hand, and I see
what I can find.
