[NLRS] Monday Update 10 G WE#2 Saturday Sept 16th and Sunday the 17th

[Zack Widup]

The current plan is that Pete K9PW, John K9JK and I will be roving up
and down the Illinois/Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan. We will start
somewhere in northern Illinois on Saturday around 7 am and work our
way north. Probably make 8 or 10 stops and stay overnight near Two
Rivers. Then start out on Sunday in Algoma and work our way south. We
will probably hit many of the stops from the day before because the
Michigan gang will be in different places than on Saturday.

Pete and I will have 10, 24 and 47 GHz. I don't know if my 47 GHz
transverter works (or how well it works) yet because I haven't worked
anyone with it. I'll be happy to make a QSO over a couple km with
Pete. John will have 10 GHz.

I don't know if Pete has any plans on going to a hill to the west of
the lake for a bit to try and work people to the west. I guess we'll
see how the schedule works out.

73, Zack W9SZ
