[NLRS] Mn QSO Party: W0ZQ/m Rover Plans

[W0ZQ at aol.com]

Hello NLRS land.  
 
The Minnesota QSO Party is a week from today, Saturday, Feb 6, from 8:00 am 
 to 6:00 pm CST.  The contest includes both HF and VHF categories.   Full 
rules can be found at http://w0aa.org/mnqp.htm or ask me.  As the  contest 
includes a club competition, make sure to submit a log and to indicate  NLRS 
as your club - last year we place in 2nd place overall.

W0ZQ/m plans  to operate as a HF mobile station activating the following 
eight counties in  this order: Dodge, Olmsted, Goodhue, Wabasha, Goodhue 
(again), Dakota, Rice,  Scott, and ending in Le Sueur.  In previous years I was 
CW only, but this  year I plan to also give SSB at try, so I will be 
operating mixed mode.  I  will have 80, 40, 20, and will try 15m midday too - no 75m 
fone as the system  does not tune there.  Here is a rough timeline by 
location and  bands

Dodge:  8:00am to 9:15am starting on 80m CW, then 40m CW then  fone, last 
is 20m CW.
Olmsted:  9:15am to 10:30am starting on 80m CW,  then 40m CW then fone, 
last is 20m CW
Goodhue:  10:30am to 11:30am  starting on 80m CW, then 40m CW, then 40m 
fone while driving.
Wabasha:   11:30am to 12:45pm starting on 80m CW, then 40m CW then fone, 
then 20m CW then  fone.
Goodhue:  Again.  12:45pm to 1:45pm, 20m fone while  driving.
Dakota:  1:45pm to 3:00pm starting on 20m CW then fone, then  40m CW, then 
80m CW, then 40m while driving.
Rice:  3:00pm to 4:15pm  starting on 40m fone while driving, then 20m CW, 
then 40m CW then 80m  CW.
Scott:  4:15pm to 5:15pm starting on 40m fone then CW, then 80m  CW.
LeSueur:  5:15pm to 6:00pm staring on 40m CW, then 80m  CW.

Hope to work some of you next weekend.  Get on, make some Q's,  make 
Minnesota proud, and send in a log.

73, Jon
