[NLRS] [10ghzcontest] 10 G WE#2 update 13 Sept

[Zack Widup]

Pete K9PW said he hasn't really found a location reasonably close to
Lake Michigan that is favorable to working people farther to the west.
We think we can work N9LB and W9ZIH. But mostly our rover group will
concentrate on the Lake Michigan lakefront in Wisconsin to work people
in Michigan.

So far we have K9PW, K9JK (who is riding with K9PW), me, W9SNR for the
first part of the trip (he has to return home Saturday night) and
maybe KA9VDU for a while heading north along the lake on Saturday. Me,
K9PW and K9JK starting in Algoma on Sunday morning and heading south.

There is a possibility of rainscatter. We'll see what happens.

73, Zack W9SZ
