Since I have the rover all set-up, I'm going to play radio Wed
night, Thur night, and probably Sun night.  I'm "on call" for
Delta so these plans may get crumped. I'll email the lists if my
plans change.

Tonight:
Pierce, Pepin, Buffalo Counties
144.190
Time: 0100Z Pierce, 0200Z Pepin, 0300Z Buffalo

I hope to reach out to Milwaukee and south where I know N9NFB and
I think WB9TFH (and possibly others) are collecting counties.  I
need to contact at least three different stations while I'm in a
county for it to count as an activation for me.  I hope there are
more than 3 stations around to work.  I hope some NLRS stations
will get in on the fun and give me a call (and collect the
counties).  Hey, it's "activity" :-) .

Planning on carrying guys to 222.090, 432.090 and 50.190. If
anyone wants those counties on 902, 1296, or 2304, we can go to
the .100 calling freq.

I'll be on my cell at 651-491-1077.

I hope you check into the nets on 144.230, 144.240, and 144.250.
See kc9bqa.com for description of the nets tonight.  I bet the
http://www.on4kst.com/ chat utility will be humming during the
nets. (region 2 144/432)

And on Thursday, (possibly Friday), and Sunday evenings I'll be
activating more counties like Burnett, Washburn, Polk, Barron.
Rusk, Sawyer, Douglas, and Bayfield are possiblities.

WIVUCH (pronounced wee-vooch) is described at http://wivuch.com
One operator already has over 50 of the 72 counties worked. Others
are in the 40's.  Two meters is the primary band of interest. But
there are increased challenges by collecting these counties on 6m,
222, and 432.
