With only 24 hours to play with, something has to go. So, my plan is to 
truncate the June route and just go with a South - North up the Hwy 75 
corridor in Western IA and Western MN.

I'll be starting in EN11-21 (near Onawa, IA) and then driving North to pick 
up EN12-13-14-15-16 and as many of the nearby EN2X grids as possible. Any 
information on good operating locations near Onawa, IA would be very helpful 
as I don't Have a lot of time to pre-scout it out. Many of these locations 
are somewhat off the beat and path so I'll need to make major improvements 
in my 222/432 antennas (TBD). Plans are to operate 50MHz - 10 GHz in a stop, 
elevate and point mode again.

I'll post a time line once the details are worked out. The time line is 
somewhat dependent on the QSO latency time so I'd like to hear what you 
folks think of using HAM-IM as a coordination mechanism for those who are 
equiped with this capability?

Any and all suggestions for the August rover plan/route/coordination/etc. 
would be appreciated.

73, Jim
