[NLRS] W9FZ/R Rove basic plans

[Bruce Richardson]

Hello NLRS'ers:

I will be roving in Wisconsin again this June on account of a mandatory Air
Force meeting that I have in Milwaukee on the 11th.  The meeting lets out
about 4pm.  I have a schedule starting at 5pm on Saturday.  I hope to be on
earlier.  If I can get ahead of schedule, that would be a good thing.

I will have 6,2,222,432,903,1.2,2.3, and 10GHz.  I'm only doing 9 grids so
I'm not going to win anything.  I'm there to supply Q's and grids to you
fixed stations.  Ok, I'll work a rover too :-) (I need grids too)

I haven't heard of anyone using 144.240 so that's where I'll do my CQ'ing.
I will generally carry you to .140 on the other bands.  Sure, you may hear
me pop up on the calling freq and then I will promptly move to .240.  This
is where I could use fixed stations help in spreading the word when I'm in
a new grid and that I'm up on .240.  Like N9UX, I hope to check 146.55
occasionally.  Someone should announce the contest on the repeaters in
Milwaukee on Sat morning.

With my schedule below, you might hear me stay in a grid longer than my
sched or you might find me arriving early in a grid (hopefully :-) ).

I will point at the Twin Cities occasionally (particularly on my last three
stops).  When I'm in eastern Wisconsin, I know my bread-and-butter is in
eastern Wisconsin and Illinois.  When I'm west of Wausau, I should be
equally strong into Milwaukee and Twin Cities.

Here's the Schedule:

Saturday (times local)

EN62  1700-1800 (near airport)
EN52  1900-2000 (New Berlin)
EN53  2100-2200  (Waukesha Hillside Park)
EN63	2300-2400  (Grafton area park)

Sunday

EN64  0800-0900 (Oconto City Park)
EN65  1000-1100 (E. Pound, WI)
EN55  1200-1300 (W. Pound, WI)
EN54  1400-1500 (SW. Pound, WI)
EN54  1800-1900 (W. Wausau, WI) I'll be right near the 45N 90W grid corner
EN55  1900-2000 (W. Wausau, WI)
EN45	2000-2200 (W. Wausau, WI)

Notice I'm finishing with two hours in EN45.  I think it's important to
supply 2 hours there.  If I were early, I'd finish by popping into 44 to
give some mults to some EauClaire guys right at the end.

Hope all the equipment works--I'm ripe for some system failures.

Questions, ask away this week and I can fix them before the event starts.
