Sorry for the error. I've got too many irons-in-the-fire.

This link takes you to the updated and sorted upper Midwest participants
summary: http://viewer.zoho.com/docs/dc4ddda

Remember to also checkout Bruce's Midwest Mania participants:

I've changed the format to "landscape" and added a "bearing" column. You can
download this off-line applet to calculate bearing and distance from your
QTH: http://www.plicht.de/ekki/software/radiodist.html or one of the other
popular bearing programs.

I'd encourage you to list your active hours if you're only on the air for
part of the contest period so that we'll know when to listen for you. The
stations located Northwest of the Twin Cities and West central Wisconsin are
welcome to use 144.215 as the Northwest "running" frequency. You can then
call CQ here or if necessary call CQ on the calling frequency and announce
that you're QSYing "up 15". That way we won't clog up the calling frequency
(144.200). A little cooperation can go a long way.

Thanks for the updates I've received so far. Please send any other
additions, corrections, etc. to me and I'll update the list.
The purpose of this list is to give a heads-up to our tentative plans. We
welcome any other stations who may also be getting on the air.

"As-the-rotor-turns" - The good news is that we needed the rain. The bad
news is that only 6 & 2 are up on the tower as of this morning. I may have
missed the window for good weather (?). So, we'll be on the air with
whatever we have ready by Saturday morning (weather permitting).

Good luck to everyone!

73, Jim
