[NLRS] Hepburn's Tropo Prediction for Sunday Morning and Field Day

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Has anyone else noticed that center predicted to be over the North 
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota border congruence for tomorrow morning 
(1200 Z)? It's not broad but reaches Hepburn's 'Intense' category at the 
center.

Any thoughts on what that might bring for possible "Field Day" Tropo?

By the way, I will be a VHF Op at the W9CA (3A IL) Field Day 
operation...not on a hill or anything but we have beams for 50, 144 and 
432 at about 35-40 feet elevation, running an FT-847. We will be 
spinning the beams up to the Northwest and calling CQ. Will be checking 
the calling freqs. regularly and trying to maintain a regular presence 
on 144.190 as well. EN52wg is the 6-character Grid Locator.

And DON'T forget that there are no band/mode time change limits on VHF 
so you can do BOTH SSB and CW contacts on a given band 
"back-to-back"...we will be trying to keep "Know-Codes" near the station 
or a "Know-Code" may be operating so don't be surprised if we ask to go 
to CW or don't be afraid to ask that of us if we don't ask first.
