[NLRS] Possible visit by K9JK and looking for VUCC/R activations

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Hey gang,

I'm "negotiating" to do a site audit for some commercial towers in West and 
Central Wisconsin, one in Wausau and two over toward Eau Claire, and the 
'customer' needs it done fairly quickly so I'd be shooting for the end of 
next week. It's probably going to require ONE overnight as part of the job, 
BUT I'm *thinking* that I could stretch my visit to get over to the Twin 
Cities to coincide with the Saturday morning breakfast (on the 9th) and I'd 
also like to try and snag some more grid activations for VUCC/R, potentially 
EN34,35,44,45 for 6 bands, 50 through 1296 MHz, so I'm thinking about 
loading up the rover gear as well.

It's NOT a 'done deal' yet (still negotiating), BUT...might (or could) 
anyone be available for me to work from the EN34,35,44,45 Grid Corner? (As 
far as possible "when"...I'm thinking Friday evening or Saturday late 
morning/early afternoon, 'post' breakfast.)

For that matter, would (or could) anyone be available that I could work from 
EN43 somewhere along where I-94 crosses it's NE corner (SW of Tomah)? I 
realize the latter is a LOT further from MSP...but maybe someone from the 
Eau Claire/CVC gang could help with that? The timing for that would probably 
be mid-late afternoon on Saturday.

I'd prefer to NOT have to bring the 'bricks' so I'd be talking barefoot 
FT-736R for 144, 222, 432 and 1296 (25, 25, 25 and 10 watts respectively), 
probably the FT-100D for 50 (100 watts but I usually dial it down) and 
transverter for 903 (about 10 watts) along with my Create Log Periodic as 
the radiating device (though I could consider adding the KB6KQ Loop for 50 
and my 10 ele yagi for 432).

Thanks es 73, JK
