Hello NLRS land
Weather permitting, W0ZQ/R is currently planning to be out and about for next weekends 222 & Up Distance Challenge contest with all bands from 222 to 10 GHz.  I'm still working on the rover configuration but it may be:

Since grids are not multipliers I probably will not be operating around our usual grid corners.  Right now I am looking to operate from southern MN in the EN33, EN23, then north to EN24 Mankato like areas, tbd.  Since its not about the number of Q's you make, I look forward to having more time to scratch out some longer Q's with those who want to try.  I will be FT8 capable on 222 and 432.   Love CW, will even connect the microphones for SSB too.  In addition to 952-807-3816 I will try to monitor 222.120.  My 222 & 432 radio is the same, so I cannot monitor both concurrently but will try to bounce back and forth between 222.120 and 432.120.  I am looking forward to making a few 3456 and 5760 Q's before the FCC sells them and my equipment is made into a coffee table.  Don't forget to post plans at https://tinyurl.com/AugustUHF2020
