[NLRS] 0.222 GHz Sprint, Wednesday night, 4/12

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Hey Northern Lightsers (Lighters?),

Wednesday night (4/12, 7pm to 11pm local time) brings another one of those
annoying "DC Band"/sub-Gigahertz events...the 0.222 GHz Sprint.

It's almost going to be a mini-rover-mania with at least three of us out and
roving in and around Chicago and I realize it's probably a "stretch" to
expect paths between the Twin Cities and Chicago but I still encourage some
operation up there around the 44th parallel.

Tim, K0PG, has posted that he and Pat, K9ILT, will be piloting their "Rovair
Extraordinaire" operating under Pat's call, K9ILT/R, down by the Grid Corner
just SW of Kankakee (EN50, EN51, EN60 and EN61) so look for them down there.
Mike, WB8BZK is planning to visit AT LEAST EN52 and EN62 with his newly
acquired narrowband set-up (from W0ZQ) as well as monitoring on 223.5 FM.

We all check both the 'narrowband' AND FM calling frequencies, 222.100 and
223.5 MHz, respectively, so please take a check for us (and "off" the callng
frequency as well). Even if you only have FM equipment, check out 223.5 MHz
(and turn that volume up...maybe "crack the squelch" once in awhile). Any
and all QSOs will be appreciated.

My route plans are not yet certain so if anyone is interested in knowing my
"final" route or possibly making a schedule, please drop me an e-mail "off
the list" (and preferably before 3pm tomorrow "just in case" I decide on a
more far-reaching route and have to leave that early). I will be running a 
225WB for antenna and will have the "brick" behind the FT-736R for at least 
100W.

73, JK
