[Ray Johnson]

Hi All

Here is the NEW updated roving plan for this weekend:

 >Saturday ( 9/12) morning is Belvedere, IL  Hamfest in EN52
 >and so I will be riding  back just in time for the contest start.

Bands NOW will be 144 and 432  Vertical Polarization ONLY
due to space constraints riding in another person's car ( Saturday only )
( Vertical ?? Yeah, I know ---but my hands are tied in this situation )
Listening on 144.200 and QSY to 144.225 if  144.200 is busy--Will
try 146.52 FM  / 146.46 FM as well--My expectations are VERY  low..

9/12-1700Z  Leave Belvedere
9/12-1800Z  Contest starts-Should be near Madison region - EN52/EN53
9/12-2000Z  Near  Tomah region in EN43/ EN44
9/12-2100Z  Near Eau Claire region EN44
9/12-2200Z  I94 corridor in EN44/EN34
9/12-2300Z  Back home in St Paul EN35

NEW PLANS FOR SUNDAY:

Bad news--900 and 1296 are out for Sunday --Transverters need far more
filtering work so operations NOW will be:  ABD only -144.225 is home freq

B:   144.225  ( 50W / 7 elements ),
