[NLRS] Need advice on rover stops for August UHF rove

I would love to hear from experienced rovers where they would recommend
stopping during this weekend's rove.

We are planning on starting the contest at the Dodgeville convergence, in
EN43wx since we're coming down from Westby.  I'm thinking somewhere on
Military Ridge Rd.  Then we'll go to EN42, then EN53, then EN52.  I have
spots picked out based on elevation, but if you know of some particularly
good ones please share.

Then we'll be driving over to Milwaukee to hit EN63 and EN62.  Here I'm
totally clueless and need any and all help.

We'll be spending the night with family in EN52.  Then Sunday morning we'll
drive down to EN61 and EN51.  Again, I have no clue where exactly would be
a good place, so experienced help would be great.

I'm hoping for great weather and a fun rove with my son, KC9JTL.  He's
starting college in the fall, majoring in chemical engineering at
Benedictine College in Atchison, KS.  I don't know how subsequent summers
will go for us to rove together, so maybe this is the last one as
father-son.

I would have preferred one of the contests with a bit more activity, but
this is the one that worked out schedule-wise.  So....I'd sure appreciate
any and all of you turning out and looking for us on our rove.  If you know
you're going to be in the shack and want us specifically to look for you in
particular grid or grids, please let me know.

If all works out well we should at least be strong on 222.100 and 432.100,
with a 900 MHz rig in the mix as well.  And we'll be giving out double
points using the family rule.

Thanks and 73,

David  W9HQ
