[NLRS] W9FZ's UHF Rovermania plans

[Bruce Richardson]

Sorry to publish my plans so late. I've updated the spreadsheet.
I am, indeed, going out for Rovermania. Boy, from reading the mail, it
sounds like things will be down for Rover activity.  Glad to see W7XU/R
may go out. W0ZQ/R and KC0IYT/R will be missed. WA0VPJ/R, any chance
you'll be on?  Glad to see the W9SNR/R and WB8BZK/R plans. SNR and BZK,
let's make a good effort to hook up rover-to-rover over these non-trivial
distances. (I need your grids :-) ).

I still have to modify two TR751's to put DC on the coax. I'll do that
Friday morning and then motor on Friday evening to get close to the
Dodgeville corner.  Dodgeville, west of Madison, WI for Saturday portion
and then drive through the night to get to the Wausua grid corner for the
Sunday portion.

Bill, K0AWU, my sched says I start at 6am in EN54 on Sun morn. I'm usually
there at 4am or sooner taking a nap. But I'll try to point your way
pre-6am or 6am to see if we can make it (assuming you'd be up that early).

I also hear that KF9US may be operating portable on Irma Hill in EN55.
That's a nice location.

Barring Murphy problems, I'll have:
222, 432, 903, 1.2, 2.3, and 10G
I will be CQ'ing and carrying ops to 222.150/432.150/903.150/1296.150

Here's my sched times Z and Local

If the rovers are less this year, please, let's have more fixed stations
keeping all operators busy!
Thanks and hope to work a bunch of you!
