[NLRS] W9FZ/R six grid rove this weekend!

[Bruce Richardson]

Hello NLRS'ers:

I'm in Japan at the moment. But between now and contest
time, I'll travel halfway around the world, load my radios
in the Twin Cities, load my antennas in EN-43, and begin the
contest from EN52 (see sched below).  So there are some
things in the way, but I have every intention of being on.

This year, from the first two grids, Russell KC9RDC will be
at the mike most of the time.  Russell will have 5 radios
and amplifiers to manage for 7 bands.  I'll have a straight
key by me if needed. So it will be my callsign but not my
voice during the day on Saturday. From SW Wisconsin near
Dodgeville, we should be good into Chicago, Milwaukee, and
MSP--and points between and around. I'll be solo for the
other grids. My 54/44 locations are not too far from
Necedah, WI where it is flat and full of trees so my sigs
may be weaker from there--but let's give it a go.

Yes, we will occasionally check 146.55/58 but with the
little magmount we won't expect too much there.

Only a six grid rove this time in order to accommodate a
number of things--one of which is the Vikes game on Sunday
evening.  Much warmer weather --even if not very nice--this
year over the psst few.  Note I'll be in EN43 twice--on both
late evenings.

Please work us on 6, 2, 222, 432, 902, 1.2, 2.3, and 10G.
Main CQ'ing freq will be 144.240. (I've not seen any other
rovers on that freq yet--let me know if anyone else already
claimed that and I'll move up.)  Plan on going to .140 on
most of the other bands. I'm thinking up around .180 for 6m.
