[NLRS] K0MHC/Rover - RRV & I29 VUCC expedition and local Twin Cities grids

[Jim Froemke]

The weather forecast is still changing but, I should lay out a tentative
plan so, here goes:

-        Starting out on Saturday within range of the Twin Cities & Wisc.
Stations at the Elbow Lake, MN 4-corners activating EN15 & EN16.

-        Driving north on MN 59 now within "fringe" range of Twin Cities &
Wisc. Stations to the Thief River Falls, MN 4-corners activating EN18, EN17,
EN27 & EN28. If the weather cooperates (?) this should take advantage of the
night time propagation improvements for many who need these for VUCC.

-        Starting out on Sunday and traveling south on I29 from Grand Forks,
ND to Sioux Falls, SD while activating EN16, EN15 & EN14 (from rest stops).

-        Driving east towards Winsted, MN in time to activate the EN24,
EN34, EN25 & EN35 before the end of the contest (10 PM). This will fill in
for some of the Twin City rovers who couldn't make it.

You can view a "tentative" route and plan here:

I should have good signals on 6, 2, 1.25 and 0.7 meters once I stop, push-up
and aim in your direction.
