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
