[NLRS] VHF contest.

[Bruce Richardson]

Hi Gerald:

Yup, that was me. I saw Gilbert on the map, but I thought you moved from
there.  I got off at the Storey City exit and went west to some high
ground NE of Boone.  I don't actually expect to activate 22 or 32 this
weekend. I just figgered since I was going right by there I ought to do my
site research.

I spent the night in Osceola, IA. This morning, I looked for spots in
30/31/20/21 near Thayer, IA.  Now I'm down near Gallatin, MO where I'm
researching spots for EM29/39 EN20/30.  Tomorrow, I research sites in
EM28/38/29/39 near Odessa, MO.

I stopped by and did a shack visit with WB0JQQ in EM39.  There is a good
chance I'll visit Garth W0GR tomorrow afternoon.

My plans are on the W0UC spreadsheet at:

(paste together)
and on the Midwest Mania! website at:

Jerry, glad you are gonna get on the air for this weekend. I may not be
able to work you on Saturday but should be able to on Sunday at the north
end of my rove ending in 21/31.
