[NLRS] W9FZ/R and KA9VVQ/R will be roving in the 2m Sprint!

[Bruce Richardson]

Janice and I need a dose of RF.  

 

We will do 4 grids with 30-45 minutes per grid.  There is some travel time between 3 of the grids.  We don’t want to be on the air much after 10pm—mostly for how activity falls off.  But if we are still out there, we’ll hope you’ll stay up and catch that last grid and q 😊 .

 

We are gonna try to be up on 144.240 most of the time.  Hopefully you’ll find us there.  We’ll make some announcements periodically on .200.  But that freq will probably be noisy.  Also, we appreciate fixed stations spotting us on the chat pages.  We also appreciate when you encourage Indiana and Michigan stations (that you work on .200) to look for us up on .240. 

 

We’ll be running 150 watts to a 6-ele VJB beam.  We’ll be chirping w9fz-15 and visible on aprs.fi.  https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap <https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FW9FZ-15> &z=11&call=a%2FW9FZ-15

 

This grid corner is between Rochester, MN and LaCrosse, WI.

EN34  1900-1930L  (0000 – 0030Z) 30min

EN44  1945-2015L  (0045 – 0115Z) 30min

EN33  2030-2115L  (0130 – 0215Z) 45min

EN43  2115-2200L  (0215 – 0300Z) 45min

 

Remember, you’ll get two Q’s every time you find us!

 

We’ve been noting all the posts in the NLRS and BC’ers reflectors and will be looking for all the ops who said they might get on.
