[NLRS] September 10 G Cumulative Weekend #2 September 16th and 17th

[Gary]

The second weekend of the 10 G Cumulative is only a few weeks away. It 
is still undecided what we are going to do.

There are a few ops who are interested in going to going to South Dakota 
to operate for the weekend.

Wilmot Rest Stop EN15lj86HO is the only site available this time. The 
previous sites are either unavailable or are not 10 miles from 15lj.

*Fixed group at EN15lj:*

WA2VOI, WBØEBG and KØSHF (for one day then to EN26cg) have expressed 
interest in going there to operate.

*Rover: *WBØLJC

*Plans to be on either fixed or rover*: WØZQ.

Not available: KØKFC. This means that EN35rj is not available as a fixed 
site this time.

*Rover routes:*

I have a few Saturday rover routes in mind.

A _short route_ starting north of Hutchinson and traveling south around 
MN 15 down to the Fairmont area. This route has distances from about 220 
km to 280 km.

A _medium distance_ route that starts near Shakopee and travels South 
down MN 13 to North of Albert Lea before turning West for a couple of 
sites and then down to the Kiester area. and West again to the Blue 
Earth area. Distances are around 280 km to about 330 km.

A _long distance_ route starting south of Northfield and traveling down 
I-35 until a little south of the Iowa boarder. Then turning to the West. 
Distances from about 320 km to 370 km.

Sundays return route could be a one of the other above routes.

For all routes some of the sites are known to be good to SD while others 
may or may not be usable because of corn etc.

Distances to Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin and Illinois sites are long but 
there are a few sites that offer excellent views in these directions. 
Particularly the Kiester site in EN33en. This site would be used later 
in the day on Saturday or Sunday. Perhaps as late as 6 or 7 PM. Iowa 
sites should be workable without too much trouble even if the paths are 
not the best as the distances are moderate.

_For anyone who is not currently on the 10 G band, we have loaner rigs 
available for use. Contact me for information._

Who is interested in getting on for the weekend and what would you like 
to do?

Please let me know, even if you are not going to be on that air.

73, Gary WBØLJC
