[NLRS] K0CQ UHF contest plans

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Providing the Sunday morning weather forecast holds dry, I plan to 
operate 432 from home on Saturday afternoon and evening, possibly a bit 
intermittent as I take time to load the rover in the pickup. I'll have 
my FO-22 on the roof tripod in use. Too directive but if I get it 
pointed right it works good, not so good north because of it not being 
higher than the Morton Building out back or the cedar trees of the wind 
break.

Sunday morning my plan is to hit the road before 6 AM heading east to 
the hamfest in Cedar Rapids, and I'll be roving in EN32 on US20 until 
about 7:30 where I'll cross into EN42 on I-380 south of Waterloo. I'll 
probably leave the hamfest by 10:30 or 11 AM and look for contacts from 
EN41, EN31, EN32, and EN42 as I head west on US30. The antenna is a dual 
band halo so signals won't be super strong. I'll be using the beacon 
function of the FT-857D to call CW many times.

I did the same last year and didn't set any great records but gave out a 
few grids to K2DRH and AC0RA/R. Activity around here for the UHF contest 
hasn't been great for some years.
