Hello NLRSers,
Even at this LATE date, I will claim FULL advantage
of Jon's 'disclaimer' that all plans are TENTATIVE.
I'm presently in Oacoma, SD, (EN03ht) and the "plan"
(using that term VERY loosely) is to start at the
EN03,04,13,14 Grid Corner tomorrow, just W of
Artesian, SD, about 20 miles north of Mitchell, SD.
Thence, continue south along the 98W line to pick up
EN02 & EN12 (near Avon, SD), hopefully finding a
place to rest for the evening, then continuing at
least to EN01 & EN11 (near Elgin, NE) on Sunday.
Forecast is very windy in this area today AND
tomorrow, with rain, even storms possible. Not sure
how my rover ULTRA-lite config will work in the wind.
I'm also low power...barefoot from the 736, 25 W on
222 and 432, 10W on 1296.
As far as freqs., being so far out here...I'm going
to be focusing on the calling freqs...but going DOWN
to the "73s" on the bottom 2 bands (222.073 and
432.073) if it DOES get busy. I'll ALSO be trying
to "aim" towards the Twin Cities area at 15 and 45
after the hour when I am stopped...targetting for
about 5 minutes.
Hope to work KM0T for sure but a few others would be
nice as well.
73, JK
