[NLRS] K9ILT/R June 88 degree dash

[aduhawk at comcast.net]

Pat and I will be roving during the contest this weekend using K9ILT/R.  We will run on 50.170, 144.170, 222.070 and 432.070.

Since 902 (or 903) and 1296 QSOs are usually by arrangement, we'll figure out where to meet.  We will have good suds and pretty good antennas.

Our route will be North along the EN6X side of 88 degrees from EN60 to EN65, and the South on the EN5X side on the way home.

Saturday:
1900Z to 2100Z EN60/50/51/61 corner.  Since we won't get this far South on the return trip, we will do the 51/50 grids during this time.  We have a great pipeline into WI from here and have consistently worked W0ZQ in EN34 from this spot, so please look down this way.
Form 2100Z to 2300Z we will be in motion through EN61 to EN62.
2300Z to 0100Z from the parking lot of Willow Hill GC, aka Mt. Trashmore, in EN62 -- Northbrook, IL.  This is a landfill not too far West of Lake Michigan with a good command of the billiard table like topography of the area.  We will leave sooner if we get thrown out.
0100Z to 0300Z in motion to Port Washington WI, driving North through EN62 to EN63.  We will go to Upper Lake Park on the bluff over Lake Michigan.  We will be looking East most of the time.  We have worked OH, PA, MA, ON and QC from here so if you're that way, take a look.

We are overnighting in Port Washington, and will return to the same spot in the morning to see what's up.

1400Z --1500Z driving North through EN63 to Manitowoc in EN64, operating from a park on the Lake Michigan shore until 1600Z, then West to EN54, heading south by about 1900Z.

The weather forecast calls for Thunderstorms/showers over the area Sunday.  Depending on location, and conditions at the time, we will either be heading for cover, or cruising South through EN54, 53 and 52.

If there's time, we may stop on top of Nickoll Knoll in EN62 for a final end-of contest feeding frenzy.

We hope that you will ride along with us.
73, Tim K0PG and Pat, K9ILT
