Hi everyone,

This is very rough and I won't try to repeat the timing that I put in the
September Plan Google Spreadsheet setup by W0UC, please look there for VERY
approximate times. http://tinyurl.com/septvhf2014

I'm heading up along 88W to north of 44N towards Chilton for EN54ua and
then over near Reidsville for EN64ad. Depending on drive time, I may still
be mobile in EN53 at the very start of the contest, but with EN53 looking
to be well activated by KA9VVQ/R, N9DG and W9GA, I'm not planning to spend
a lot of time there AND I will likely NOT try to work folks while moving.
The EN53xw/63aw stop is just NE of Kiel and the EN63ak (possible EN53xk)
spot is just NW of Saukville,

Sunday is very loose as far as planning, EN52, EN62, EN51 and EN61 for
sure, I may head down SW of Kankakee to add EN50 and EN60 in.

No bricks. Only omni loops for antennas so I'll need fixed stations (and
other rovers?) to do the heavy lifting. FT-897D for 50 (100W), 144 (50W)
and 432 (20W), FT-736R for 222 (20W, maybe 25W if I can coax the 736 to
push a little more out).

I'm about to leave the house so I likely will not see any further e-mail
posting (or if anyone replies to me) but I'm bringing the laptop so if I
can find a spot with Wi-FI along the way, I'll try to do a quick check.

Good Luck to everyone...Rovers be safe!

73, JK
