Well, I successfully got the rigs loaded and the antennas too. Talked
with ND9Z yesterday on 2m so I know that works. :-)

I cut and paste some text from last year:


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, 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 KF8QL/R, or W9RPM, WV9E or whoever!    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

I still don't know my counties at the moment but I'll know them when I
get there AND I will post them after the fact--which counts if you
worked me. We don't "Have" to exchange counties.
