Hey NLRSers,
K9JK/R will be out around the EN51, 52, 61, 62 Grid Corner this
evening and planning to look toward the Twin Cities around 20 and 50
after the hour. Equipment tonight is my FT100D driving at TE Systems
Brick, about 150 Watts out. Antennas are 2M9SSB at about 14 feet and
rotatable when stopped and a KU4AB Loop for omnidirectional at about 8
feet.
I don't have a specific schedule but I am planning to be at either
EN62ad or EN62cc at the start, probably for about an hour, then EN61ax
and end up at a place that is right on the border of EN51xx and EN52xa
and allows "moving the complete station (including antennas)..." the
requisite "at least 100 meters" to give out one OR the other Grid
Locator. I may also go back and revisit EN61 and EN62 though LOW in
elevation in case I missed anyone earlier.
WB8BZK/R is also planning to be out in this area. Mike's starting
point will be EN52xc from the start to about 7:30, then at EN62ad from
about 8 to a little after 8:30. After that will depend on conditions
and activity but Mike is planning to get down to EN61 and EN51 before
it all ends. I will advise Mike about looking NW at 20 and 50 after
the hour when he is set-up.
Yet another rover, K9GY, will be out in this area...not as strong a
station but someone else to listen for and I will let him know about
trying NW at 20 and 50 after the hour, too.
Hope we get "something" in terms of propagation between Chicagoland
and the Twin Cities.
73, JK
