I'd like to activate EN35 as that grid is usually rare on 902-10ghz.  If and
when I do that will depend on the weather and roads.  The current forecast
for Saturday sounds miserable: I'm not interested in getting drenched by a
cold rain, and the roads don't sound fun either.  I'm hoping Sunday will be
better.  Right now I'm thinking that I'll join the Frozen Fingers group in
EN34 on Sunday morning then go to Ridgeway Park in Minneapolis (EN35ja)
afterwards.  I'll hang out on 144.235 and 432.135.

I hope to be on 6m, 2m, & 70cm from home in EN34js as a SOLP, at least until
my neighbors express their displeasure with my aluminum artwork.  If the
weather isn't conducive to a rove on Sunday, I'll crank up the attenuators
in my transverters to keep the power down to SOLP limits and put the gear on
the air from home for a little while.
