[NLRS] [10ghzcontest] Some additional thoughts for second 10 ghz weekend

Thu Sep 7 11:35:22 EDT 2017

I will be roving with Pete K9PW, John K9JK and possibly a couple
others up and down the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan, working mostly
people on the Michigan side. Pete is going to attempt to work Garry
K3SIW across the lake on 47 GHz. I have completed my 47 GHz station
and hope to work Pete at least over a couple km in Wisconsin on 47
GHz, as well as on 10 and 24 GHz.

Pete is the organizer and driving force on this; I don't know if he
has any plans to swing inland to a couple hills and attempt any QSO's
with some of you. I'll ask.

73, Zack W9SZ
