[NLRS] KA9VVQ/R and W9FZ/R will be on the air this weekend from 7 grids

[Bruce Richardson]

Well, this is a story of "mission creep".  I told Janice weeks ago that we'd
use her car and do 2 grids or maybe 4.  Well, now we are using my car for 7
grids and 6 bands.  We will be ABCD9I.  No E.  Yes, we'd like to try 10 GHz
with anyone who wants to try.

 

We loaded our plans in to the Upper Midwest Planning Spreadsheet (on the
rover tab) at:

If you are not on there, you should list yourself.  I know I'll check it and
print it out tomorrow morning to take with us on the rove.

 

We used to plan on 2 hours per grid, but with activity levels down, we
figure 1.5 hours ought to be enough.  We'll be SSB and CW-no digital.  We've
posted our plans, we chirp w9fz-15 and are viewable at
https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap
<https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FW9FZ-15> &z=11&call=a%2FW9FZ-15
.  We'll be cq'ing on 144.230. If you want our grids or QSO volume, we are
findable. And you can call us at 651-491-1077.  We can't make it any easier
than that.  

 

Saturday we are at St Charles (SE of Rochester, MN) grid corner.  Sunday, we
are at Howard Lake grid corner.
