Here is my proposal for anyone who wants to play on 10gigs this Sunday,
April 3.
1. Work off of downtown at 10:00 AM. Anyone can set up anywhere (just
like our Friday night net). I would probably go to the Burnsville site just
off of 35W and Burnsville Parkway.
2. After this, say 10:30 or so, those who are interested could form two
groups. One group could head up Hwy 55 & set up around Buffalo (+/-) on any
spot with a good horizon to the other group, but not on a hill. This would be
somewhere around EN35be. The exact spot isnt critical. At the same time
a second group could move south down 35w. If they pull off 35w at various
spots onto side roads and work back to the Buffalo area, the distances are as
follows
Elko, EN34in, 50 miles
Faribault, EN34ig, 67 miles
Owatonna, EN34jc, 82 miles
If the Buffalo group wanted to move, they could, but I would expect that the
group headed south on 35w can move more quickly. An alternative is for
the Buffalo group to instead head north on 35w so the two groups are headed in
opposite direction and open up the range more quickly, but I'm concerned that
there are more trees going that way and it would be harder to the north
group to find a clean horizon. Comments on this ?
I would most likely be in the south group and I do have a cell phone. We
can use 146.46 for local coordination. Anyone can bail at anytime.
Obvious I'm not out to try for some new records, just to have some fun, make
sure my stuff is still working after my modifications and the long winter
months, and to see what "ordinary paths" are like.
Comments ?
