Look towards central Iowa, EN32FH, I'll be on 6m 2m, and 432 with roof 
top antennas Saturday afternoon and evening, Sunday morning (not very 
early) and the rest of Sunday, weather permitting. NWS forecast this 
morning is for a Low pressure to move in Sunday with freezing drizzle 
possible Sunday morning and heavier rain Sunday afternoon. Last night 
one TV forecastor thought there might be thunderstorms Sunday afternoon. 
If I hear thunder I'll be off the air with antennas disconnected. There 
might be some chances of enhanced propagation along fronts.

I'll be calling CQ mostly on CW because the FT-857D has programmable CW 
beacons built in. I'll answer calls on SSB too, and CW calls from 5 to 
29 wpm. I have problems sending below 12 by hand though.

73, Jerry, K0CQ
