[NLRS] This weekends 10 GHz and Up Contest

[w0zq at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.

The second weekend of the ARRL's 10 GHz & Up contest is this weekend. 
Anyone who has an interest in 10 GHz is invited to participate and/or 
to stop by and check it out.

For Saturday, Sept 15, there will be a group operating from near the 
top of Buck Hill.  The access road to the top is from the bottom of the 
hill, from the parking lot, and is on the far north side (to the right 
when looking up the hill).   We have received permission from one of 
the owners to operate from there - please respect the property.  The 
group will have 146.46 and 144.260, so if you have any questions just 
give N0KP a call.

In parallel with this operation there will be a small group of rovers 
in southern and south central Wisc working towards Michigan and back 
towards Buck Hill. If you have any questions about this group please 
drop a note to Bruce, W9FZ or myself.

There will also be a small group of rovers operating in SE Minnesota 
also working back towards Buck Hill and perhaps the Wisc rover group as 
well.  We could certainly use some more "rovers" in this group as right 
now its just WB0LJC and KC0P (plus Carol).   This is a one day trip.

For Sunday, Sept 16, the plan is less formal. A small group of 
operators plans to continue to operate from Buck Hill, but a second 
group may also set up for a while at Mound Park (St. Paul). Mound Park 
is more accessible for most people.  The Mound Park group may also play 
a bit on 24 GHz and try some paths down the river valley towards Red 
Wing. Again, anyone who may be interested in participating, or even 
just to see what 10 GHz is like, is invited to stop by. Your best bet 
is to check on 146.46 to see where the action is.

73, Jon
