[NLRS] June 20th 10 G and Up Cumulative Update

[Gary2]

Sorry for the delay in getting this update out. It's been busy
track season.

Here is a list of the people who have responded so far and
where they are planning to operate. Changes are starred.
Please remember that anyone's plans can change, so no one
is locked in to anything. Please let me know if there are any
changes.

****There are still some who have expressed interest who, I either
haven't heard from or who have not made the decision that
they will be operating with us on the lake. Also, there are some
people who have said they are interested through third parties but 
haven't contacted me. Please  make a decision to go to the lake,
or not, as soon as possible and have anyone else who plans to join us 
contact me so I can keep them informed about our plans.

****Jim, KØMHC, has asked that each group take pictures, record audio,
          and take video of their activity during the weekend. He
          would like to collect the material and plans to use it in
          presentations, a web article and maybe an article in QST.

****Phone numbers for primary and secondary contact persons for each 
will be published later. Please send me your current phone and text 
numbers if  you are willing to be a contact person.

****We have a good number of people joining us on the lake this time.
Remember that this is vacation season around the lake. Make you housing
arraignments as soon as possible.

To keep the confusion level down we ask that everyone work with
the group coordinator when working across the lake. We will have some
operating guidelines in the next few weeks.

We will also have site, bearing and distance information for the
sites available shortly.  Due to the iron in the ground, a magnetic
compass is pretty worthless anywhere on the lake. Be prepared
with a GPS, sun compass or Bearing indicator on your phone.
However, not all sites will have good cell coverage.

UP-- We need someone who has been there before to step forward
       and provide information on lodging, food etc. I can't help
       as I haven't been there since 2004. I know some of the ops
       have already made arraignments.

****WA2VOI  10/24   24 G and up group coordinator
         Donn has obtained permission and done the paper work for
          the groups to operate from Mt Brockway.

*****KØMHC   10 G  group coordinator
KL7UW
KK6MC
N8PUM      will also have a 10 G beacon on
KCØP & NØHZO plan to be on the UP

KB8U    has talked about roving UP east of Keweenaw on south shore.
         Again a poor area to rove as the views from the Keweenaw
         are best to the West. If you are trying to work to the east
         there are many trees and if operation is from the lake shore
         the ground is hundreds of feet higher within a short distance
         to the east.


Interested but haven't been able to confirm to me, to commit to going
or to the site where they want to operate:

****K8ZR   is considering the UP if he goes.  10/24/47
NØAKC
KBØOZN
WBØVHF UP if they go. Will not know until just before the event.
KQ6EF    10 24?    coming from Toledo
W2RMA     UP most likely
****K8JA           Will not be with us.
W9SZ       UP most likely if he goes   10/24/47? 78?
KØAWU   Canada?
***KØCQ considering the MN NS
KCØSKM MN NS or Canada?
KA8JMW  is interested to come as an observer. He has no equipment.

If you know of others who are not on this list and who are interested in
joining us or actually planning on being on the air with us. Please have
them contact me directly so I can keep them up to date on everything.

73, Gary WBØLJC
