[NLRS] Plans for SBMS 2.3 & Up Contest.

[Doug Reed]

I'd suggest mid-morning, 9-11AM? Don't want to do it during the 
afternoon programs. And probably don't want to do it after 5PM because 
it will interfere with the supper meeting.... And we're all pretty 
hungry by then. <g>

I'd suggest setup in the south-west area of the parking lot, near where 
we drive in, to be away from the antenna measuring. If you send people 
off-site for the 1KM distance, going down around Hwy61 and County Road E 
would be about the right distance. I think there is a fairly unused 
parking lot right in the south-west corner of the intersection where 
you'll get a lot of attention from people driving by.... It isn't a 
line-of-sight path, but at only 1KM, it shouldn't have to be. Or if you 
setup on the north edge of the lot down toward the church end, you could 
send people to the shopping center north on Hwy 61 across the small 
lake. Still not line of sight but maybe better.

73, Doug Reed, N0NAS.
