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
