[NLRS] September VHF contest and an experiment

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

I think we will find that the Twin Cities guys will complain because W9FZ/R  
is too far east and the Badgers guys will complain because W0ZQ/R is too far  
west.   I suspect that there is not an easy solution for rovers ....  the life 
of a rover is a dogs life.    

Lets start with  fixed stations and any rovers that may want to play during 
the proposed  east-west activity times and see how it may work in September.    
Remember, this isn't to point to the Twin Cities .... its to point east/west 
so  that it increases the chance for all to the east to pick up southern MN to 
 northern MN.   Same can be said for the MN stations - its not to point  at 
EN44, its to look east from northern Ill to the UP with Wisc in  between.

This is a possible solution for fixed  stations and I am willing to try it.

Now how do we get all the rovers to  look this way?  It obviously will not be 
possible to work them in all  of the grids they travel through during two 1 
hour time  slots.
