It's been a feverish 10 days trying to get the rover ready with rack V2.0.
My employer kept calling me out on trips which makes it tough to get ready.

We will be south of Mankato, MN at the start activating EN24 then EN23.  In
the evening we'll drift a bit further south to "Keister Hill" for EN33.
We'll overnight in Fort Dodge and Sunday morning will be west of Ames, IA
(near Boone) for the grid corner. Our plan is to go EN21, EN31, EN32, and
finish Sunday evening in EN22.

We'll have ABCD9 and I.  No 1296.
We are on the rover tab of the Upper Midwest activity spreadsheet at:

We will be chirping "w9fz-15" and you can follow us at:
https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FW9FZ-15

Since we have no 1296, we'll be quite interested in trying 10G with whoever
wants to try.

Avail on cell via call or text at 651-491-1077

We'll try to be up on 144.240--please come find us there. We'll do some
"announces" on .200 but then QSY to .240.  If you've got a panadapter, I
hope you can slide it down from the FT8 freq and watch for activity .160 to
.250.

We will be trying to say "rover" and "/R" with our calls--please log us as
"/R".  If you find us, you get two quick Q's!

We printed out the sheets from the planner above and are looking forward to
working our friends on the air again.
Let's go get a dose of RF!
