[NLRS] W0ZQ/R for UHF/Rovermania contest

Thu Jul 31 11:30:34 EDT 2014

My rover plans start with an early departure Saturday morning to go to 
the Mid Iowa Antique Power Show, west of Marshalltown. I'll have 432 
with onmi, maybe a hand rotated beam if the omni is too poor, and 10 GHz 
with me. Have to assemble a coax and a power cable by then. I'll start 
at the show grounds hill top parking lot early in the contest probably 
EN32RA, for sure very close to EN31, just across US30. Then wander to 
EN31, then EN42, and EN41. Depending on the time there is a slight 
chance I'll get to EN51 and 52 at their west edges on Saturday. I plan 
to overnight near Cedar Rapids and I want to get to their hamfest in the 
morning. Then there is a very slight chance I might get north to EN43 
and EN33 on a convoluted route home. I won't stay for the entire hamfest 
morning.

It looks like I will not be able to assemble my rover until Saturday itself, so I have decided to cut out my St. Charles grid corner roving plans.   I still plan to activate EN34 from somewhere on Saturday afternoon and then do the EN35/25/24 grids per my original plan on Sunday.  The updated plan is as follows -
