Here is our last update on Da Plan for this weekend's rover trek into
EN42-EN52-EN53-EN43 for the ARRL VHF Sweepstakes.  This is the Dodgeville,
WI grid convergence.

The plan is to leave the house at 3:00 pm local time (CST).  If all goes
smoothly that should get us to our EN42 location by 5:00 and hopefully on
the air shortly after that.  EN42 is the "rarest" of the grids we'll be in,
so we'll spend extra time there if the activity warrants that.  But here's
the revised schedule:

EN42     5:00 - 6:00 pm
EN52     6:30 - 7:30 pm  CST
EN53     7:30 - 8:30 pm
EN43     9:00 - 10:00 pm

Listen for us on 144.205 and N9WU/R in EN42 on 144.195 SSB.

And again, we'll have vertically polarized gain on 2 meter FM, so please
listen for us on 146.55 MHz.  We will beam toward La Crosse and Richland
Center, as well as Madison and Milwaukee for sure.  We will also call CQ on
146.55 on the way down, in transit between grids, and on the way home.

Hope to contact you and good luck in the contest!

73,

David  W9HQ (roving as KC9JTL/R)
