[NLRS] W9FZ/R plans for this weekend--kinda limited

[Bruce Richardson]

Hello VHF'ers:

Daytimes on Sat and Sun, I'll be participating in the Wisconsin
GUTS Frisbee Championships in New London, WI.  If you happen to
hear me in the daytimes, I'll be at EN54oj checking to see if 6 is
popping. It's not a particularly good spot and surrounded by
trees.

I'll be CQ'ing on 144.250. I'll make brief announcements on .200.
I'll carry you to .150 on most other bands. Probably .190 or
higher on 6m.

Saturday evening, I'm trying to get to the EN54/64/63/53 corner
near between Chilton and Manitowoc, WI as quickly as I can.  I
will emphasize the first two grids and try to whip through the
last two just to give out some QSO volume and mults.

I'm pretty sure I can be on the air by 8pm Local (0100Z).  If you
hear me before that, I'm probably mobile in EN54 trying to
maximize my operating time :-) .  I'll plan on operating till
about 11pm (04Z) but who knows :-).

Sunday night I'll be heading to north of Green Bay.  I'll pop
through EN64 and focus on EN65 and EN55 till closing time.

I hope I can help some of you out with some QSO volume and grids.
Yes, I'll be looking for the stalwarts like K2YAZ, K2DRH, W9GA,
KC9BQA, and W9RM.  And yes, I'll be looking west towards the Twin
cities looking for the EN44 gang and the Twin Cities (but that is
a long haul).  If ND9Z is on from EN54, he'll be easy. He was
worth lots of Q's up through 2304 last year.  And I'll appreciate
all the other stations I can bag--like N9LB, or KC9JTL/R, or WV9E
or whoever!  Yes, hope to work that EN75 portable multi-op--I
won't be too far away.  Or N8PUM to my north :-)

Saturday evening:
0100Z onward
EN54xa  8 mi E of Chilton, WI
EN64aa   ""
EN63ax  S. of Saint Nazianz
EN53ww New Holstein, WI

Sunday evening:
00Z onward
EN64bx  w. of Peshtigo
EN65bb  W. of Peshtigo
EN55wb  W. of Coleman

If you hear me and are not getting my attention, switch to CW.
I'll decode it and peak up on you as soon as I can.

Lastly, if you are on Friday evening, you might hear me rooting
around near the Saturday evening grid corner trying to fine tune
my spots.
