[NLRS] KC0IYT/R June 07 contest plans

My ambitious plan is a 9-grid rove for the June contest.  I plan to be
operational on 50mhz thru 10ghz.  144, 222, 432 will be rotatable, 902 - 3456
fixed on top of the car, 5.7 & 10ghz on tripods and 6m will hopefully be a
ways up in the air.  I want to activate some new grids for fun, to hopefully
complete VUCC/r on 2304 and 5760, and collect grids towards 902 & 1296.

I'll hang out on 144.235.  I'll also try to monitor 432.135 (when in a grid
adjoining EN34) or 50.165 when not in an adjoining grid.

If 6m opens up, I'm going to go play on 6m like everyone else.  I'll try to
monitor 2m if I do that.

Where		Grid	Start	End	Travel
Home		EN34js		0900	4:00
Madison		EN15xb	1300	1400	
Madison		EN14wx	1500	1600	4:00
Winsted		EN24xw	2000	2100	1:00
Howard Lake	EN25wb	2200	2300	1:30
Eagan		EN34js	0030

Sunday, Plan "A":
Home		EN34js		1000	4:00
West Union	EN32	1400	1500	1:00
West Union	EN42	1600	1700	3:00
St. Charles	EN43aw	2000	2100	0:00
St. Charles	EN33xw	2100	2200

If I'm not making the microwave QSOs that I hope for (either because 6m is open
and nobody is around or conditions are lousy), I'll "go short" to the
St. Charles grid corner on this schedule:

Sunday, Plan "B":
Home		EN34js		0900	3:00
Altura		EN44ab	1200	1300	1:00
St. Charles	EN43aw	1400	1530	1:00
St. Charles	EN33xw	1600	1730	2:00
Cannon Falls	EN34nl	1930	2100

During these operating times, I plan to point towards the twin cities from
0:15 to 0:35 in the hour.  Outside of that time, I could be pointing anywhere.

My schedule probably looks a bit eclectic.  I don't want to commit 100% to
remote locations, so I've come up with a schedule where I'll work grids from
their closest-to-grid-EN34 sides.  For Saturday's schedule, this really doesn't
change things much (except drive time padding) since the route out and back
takes me past the EN24/EN25 grid corner.

I'll post again if there are any substantial changes to this plan.
