[NLRS] W9SNR/R Sept. Plans V.0

[W9SNR - Jim]

This time, I'll be covering the Chicago area and SE Wisconsin.

Plan to start at 1800Z Saturday in EN51xr  (Greene Valley Overlook).  Could stay until 2300Z if there is enough activity.  If activity dies earlier,  I'll make a brief stop somewhere in EN61, on the way to EN52sa (or...xc), which will be the last grid for Saturday.  

Starting around 1100Z Sunday in EN62cc (Willow Hill). Will probably stay there for 3-4 hours, again depending on activity.  Then will be on the road 2-3 hours going to EN53 (Hillcrest Park) and EN63 (Wick field and/or Port Washington).  Will probably hit EN53 first, but that might change. 

EN51 and EN62 locations (and maybe EN53) have very good views toward MO, KS, and some of IA, so I'll spend some extra time there calling CQ toward the W and SW.

Working frequencies will be .235 on 2M, and .135 on 222 and 432, provided that they don't get jammed by ragchewers.  I'll try calling CQ there too, although if that doesn't work, I'll go back on or near 144.200.  W and SW CQ's will mostly be on 144.200, since that's where most of the OP's out there are listening.

Taking 6M thru 24 GHz, but 5760 is iffy due to intermittent RX, and 24G is very low power.
